Social media workshops

If you are reading this, I might be I am preaching to the choir. However, this message is worth spreading around.  I was sent this notice about a series of workshops that show you how to use social media on your farm. These workshops  are being conducted by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association throughout NC in 2012.  See insert below for more information:
