The Long Hearing Farm team will share their work on creating a democratically run workplace and moving towards becoming a rural workers’ coop.

Join us for a facilitated discussion on why we are invested in finding shared ownership structures and transitioning away from sole proprietorship. We have five years of learning and experimenting and hope to host a candid space where the group can explore questions, share successes and challenges, and dream towards more democratically run workplaces.
