Setting your team up for a successful season – orientation and onboarding with Woven Roots Farm

Providing new farm employees with comprehensive orientation to your farm’s systems, policies, and work culture is a crucial step to set yourself up for a successful season. Jen Salinetti (co-director) and Aviva Klein (farm manager) of Woven Roots Farm have learned through experience the importance of making time for this early-season step. In this workshop, Jen and Aviva will share the systems they’ve developed for onboarding both new and returning employees at the start of each season, and they will support attendees in developing or refining their own orientation plans.

This in-person CISA workshop is free, but please register here by Monday, January 26th so we can provide food for all. Snacks will be available throughout, and a late lunch will be provided by 1:30. The snow date, in the event of winter weather, is Thursday, January 29th (at the same time and place). Contact marisa@buylocalfood.org with any questions.

CISA’s winter farmer-to-farmer series on employee management is supported by the Northeast Extension Risk Management project award no. 2024-70027-42540, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
