The AFFECT Community Farm project will host a community meeting by Zoom at 7 p.m. March 11.
The project is creating an indoor hydroponics farm that will grow year-round produce, offer community classes and provide agricultural workforce development courses in Fairbanks. All training courses and community classes will be free of charge and open to the public.
AFFECT stands for Alternative Fairbanks Farm Educational Cooperative Training. This project is a collaborative effort between the Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation District, Alaska 4-H, the Fairbanks Community Food Bank, Yukon Farms and a community advisory council. The project is funded by a three-year grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
If you’d like to learn more, join the Zoom call on March 11 and share your input. For those who do not have internet access, limited in-person capacity exists at the Food Bank Volunteer Clubhouse. Please contact AFFECTfarm@gmail.com if you are interested in attending in person.
