Farm Beginnings
Are you interested in starting a farm business? Or are you currently farming, but interested in changing the focus of your operation? Farm Beginnings gives you the opportunity to develop goals that reflect your values, while also connecting with and learning from some of the area’s most innovative and successful farmers, local entrepreneurs, and other beginning farmers. There are 10 class sessions, followed by an on-farm education component including farm tours and one-on-one mentoring.

The course fee covers the 34 hours of class time, on-farm education including farm tours, one-on-one mentoring, course supplies and an application for a no-interest livestock loan.
