Tennessee landowners interested in learning more about generating farm income on property they already own or live on are encouraged to attend any of the five upcoming educational webinars from CPA to be held via Zoom beginning in September. The Farming Where You Live webinars will cover a variety of educational topics relevant to Tennessee landowners. The program especially targets small-acreage landowners, beginning farmers, and timber or forest landowners in Tennessee. However, all interested individuals are encouraged to attend.

Detailed information on the Farming Where You Live webinar series, including a list of session topics and speakers, is available online at tiny.utk.edu/CPAEvents.

Knowing that many of our Tennessee landowners are seeking opportunities to generate farm income on property they already own, the purpose of this webinar series is to provide free educational sessions that will help generate new insight or ideas into utilizing existing farm or forest land to its fullest potential.

Sessions are free to attend, but preregistration is required. Interested individuals may register for the Farming Where You Live webinar series online at tiny.utk.edu/FWYL. Note that a valid email address is required to register for the program.

For additional information regarding registration or webinar sessions, contact Alaina Boyd at the UT Center for Profitable Agriculture at [email protected].

✨ Did you know it’s UT Extension Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Week? ✨

Family and Consumer Sciences is research-based education designed to help individuals, families, and communities build practical life skills that strengthen everyday living. From cooking and nutrition to financial wellness, relationships, parenting, and more, FCS helps people gain the knowledge and confidence they need to thrive.

As your Sevier County FCS Agent, I am passionate about sharing these opportunities and finding new ways to connect our community with the resources, programs, and education available through UT Extension.

💛 Hello! My name is Kaysie Adkins, and I fell in love with FCS when I was in middle school. During that time, I learned skills that I still use today—how to create a budget, safely use an oven, and even sew on a button. More importantly, my teachers showed me that FCS is where creativity meets science, and that these skills can empower people to feel more confident as they navigate life.

Today, I have the privilege of helping others discover those same skills and experiences right here in Sevier County. Whether it’s learning a new recipe, preparing for the future, building stronger relationships, or gaining everyday skills, FCS is here to support you and your family.

To learn more, check out our newest Keeping Up with FCS Extension Newsletter for August. Hope to see you at a class soon!
