Exploring the Small Farm Dream

Date: 03-Sep-2019

Exploring the Small Farm Dream is offered through Countryside U, a program dedicated to supplying farmers with the information & skills they need to succeed and innovate. Countryside first introduced Exploring the Small Farm Dream to Ohio and the Midwest in 2006, and continues to offer the course at least once a year. This highly regarded business short course was developed by the New England Small Farms Institute. In this four-session course (plus a farm tour), you will set personal/farming goals, assess available resources, determine if farming as a business is right you, and develop an action plan to guide next steps. The class will meet at Countryside's office September 3, 5, 9, and 12 from 6pm-9pm, with a farm tour on September 7 from 2-4pm.

If you are thinking about starting an agricultural business, this course is designed for you! This includes people thinking about farming full or part-time, changing careers to start a farm, and/or taking over an existing family farm business. Established farmers who are re-strategizing their businesses have also benefited from this course.
