🌱 2026 SGF’s Gathering at Polyface 🌱
Launching Young Farmers
šŸ“… August 21–22, 2026
šŸ“ Polyface Farm | Swoope, Virginia

What does it really take to build a farm from nothing—and make it work?

🌾 What’s Included
āœ” Farm-fresh Polyface breakfast & lunch both days
āœ” Vendors and practical resources you can use immediately
āœ” Honest stories that turn obstacles into opportunity
āœ” Life-giving fellowship with people who get itĀ 

In 2026, SGF is bringing together eight young farmers who started with no land, no money, and no safety net—and built real, profitable farm businesses. Some own land. Some lease. Some work solo. Some with family. All of them have done the hard thing.This gathering isn’t theory. It’s lived experience.

Over two powerful days, you’ll hear the unfiltered truth:
• What actually worked
• What failed (and why)
• The decisions that unlocked profitability
• The patterns that turned ideas into income

You’ll leave inspired, equipped, and confident that your path forward is possible.

Come learn.
Come connect.
Come be part of the team.
