CRAFT Electro-net Mending Circle

At the end of May, we gathered in Tracy City for a fence repair workshop. We learned about mending strategies using brass ferrels, recycled electro-net and zip ties, and we tried out a new mending tool called a Litzclip (shown in the first photo).

The Southeast TN CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training) program highlights farmers in the region and helps to facilitate farmer-to-farmer learning. There are many ways to approach the topics covered in the workshops. The information shared at each CRAFT workshop reflects the philosophy of the farmer-educator(s) and their findings/ways of doing things that work for them in their operation. There will always be an opportunity to learn more, dive deeper into the topics, and approach them from different angles.

This event was made possible with support from SARE and Crabtree Farms of Chattanooga.
