Mon 7/5 – Mon 7/26 (every Mon of July) @ 6 – 9PM

Wanna be a farmer? Trade in your office for a large plot of land? Spend days tilling soil and feeding chickens? Learn the ins-and-outs of small farming at the Countryside Conservancy’s four-session course beginning on Mon 7/5.

The scoop…

Course Description
In this four-session course you will set personal and farming goals, assess available resources, determine if farming as a business is right for you, and develop an action plan to guide next steps. Along the way you will take a close look at the realities of working for yourself, in particular what it will take to own and manage a successful agricultural venture.

Who Should Attend
If you are thinking about starting an agricultural business, this course is designed for you. This includes people thinking about full-time farming, farming part-time while continuing other employment, changing careers to start a farm, taking over an existing family farm business, and/or developing an existing but informal agricultural pastime into a more serious business activity. Established farmers who are re-strategizing their businesses have also benefited from the course.
