Shop Talks
NDFU comes right to your farm.
A Shop Talk is a chance to invite the neighbors over to your shop, garage, home or even basement and we’ll come out and listen to what you have to say. Your concerns, ideas, questions and insights are important to NDFU. We’ll bring out cold beverages, food and listening ears. The conversation starts with you. Tell us what’s going on in your area, what you think about state and national issues and do it all in the comfort of your own farm.
If you are interested in attending or hosting please call Jessica at 701-320-5044.
