About the event
The 9 month program begins December 1.

Classes are led by experienced farmers, ranchers, and agricultural professionals. Hundreds of farmers have graduated from Farm Beginnings® programs nationwide, and they have a strong track record.
Set the stage for a profitable, sustainable farm business. Enrollment now open for prospective and current farmers of all ages and backgrounds. Participants do not need to own land.
The 9 month program begins in December. Participants will create a whole farm plan during 8 business development sessions over the winter. The program continues into spring and summer with the development of an individualized learning plan for the upcoming growing season, facilitated farm tours, and hands on demonstration activities.
