🌱 2026 SGF’s Gathering at Polyface 🌱
Launching Young Farmers
📅 August 21–22, 2026
📍 Polyface Farm | Swoope, Virginia

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

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

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

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

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