Struggling to get your farming operation off to a great start? Our virtual Beginning Farmer program can help!
This 8-session virtual program helps new and beginning farmers find success through creation of a practical action plan. Farmers will set goals, identify assets and challenges, and become aware of resources that can lead them towards a successful farming operation.
Registration is $90, closes on Feb. 16, and includes a digital copy of the Beginning Farmer workbook.
The program is offered to beginning farmers with farms of any size, but the typical audience tends to be those with smaller farms, those with urban farms, and people wanting to launch a farm that includes direct-to-consumer sales.
