Are you interested in learning about a new cooperative workforce project in rural Colorado that benefits both farmers and farm workers?  Join us for a webinar on December 10^th or January 28^th highlighting an innovative response to Colorado’s farm labor crisis.

Initiated by the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union (RMFU) and the Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center (RMEOC), the project aims to create a multi-stakeholder cooperative, which includes both farmers and farm workers.

Key Goals:

• The project aims to create a farm labor contracting cooperative.
• Farm owners will have access to skilled and reliable workers and can reduce their  time spent finding this labor and managing the paperwork.
• Farm workers will have access to jobs with better wages, benefits, and potential for growth and ownership.

This webinar will:

• Introduce the goals and values of the project
• Provide the history of the project
• Share our feasibility study findings
