Safe Labor Movement with Cynthia Flores: Southern Maine
May 31, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FREEMOFGA’s Farm Training Project (FTP) workshops are designed for apprentices, Journeypeople, farmworkers and other beginning farmers. They follow an informal format including a farm tour and conversation on the topic of the day. All events are free but require registration.
This workshop will focus on body mechanics and movement patterns to help avoid potential work related musculoskeletal injuries while farming. We will discuss and practice ideal vs real and ways to modify to get the work done safely and efficiently. We see safe body movement essential for farmworker support so we are offering this workshop twice! There is also a central Maine location on June 7.
For questions call 207-568-4142 or email MOFGA’s Beginning Farmer Program Specialist, Bo Dennis, at [email protected].
