Safe Farm Steward Project

Virginia Western Community College is the only institution in Virginia qualified to certify your farm as a Safe Farm Steward. This free certification is provided by the University of Kentucky and recognizes a farm’s commitment to Safe Farm Stewardship. As most agricultural injuries occur from large equipment, it never hurts to have a new pair of eyes go over your equipment with you and point out future safety risks that could injure you or a loved one. Learn more about the purpose and process on the Safe Farm Steward website. Ready to certify your farm or nominate someone else’s farm to become a Safe Farm Steward?
