While we are working to increase the multi-lingual abilities of our team, at this time the full scope of our HVFBI offerings are primarily in English. However, we can provide a targeted (and growing) set of supports to Spanish-preferred farmers, and would be eager to explore more multilingual offerings if there is demonstrated need. Please indicate in which language(s) you would like to receive support. // Si su idioma preferido es el español, le invitamos a que nos cuente más sobre sus intereses educativos o su interés en organizar eventos bilingües para agricultores principiantes rellenando este formulario: https://bit.ly/3QtSChn
