Sowing Seeds for Success

Are you thinking about starting your own food- or farm-based business and don’t know where to begin? Are you ready to level up or are you thinking about adding a new venture to your existing operations?

In partnership with Rural Action, two farmer entrepreneurs will be presenting the Sowing Seeds For Success: A Farm Business Toolkit curriculum to help you build your farm business dream. A simple guide created by small farmers to help get you started, it covers business structures, funding opportunities, marketing and fundraising, agritourism basics, and more. 

• You and your great business idea (September 19)
• Setting up shop (September 26)
• Paint a picture (October 3)

Cost: $75 for the entire series. Thanks to funding from the USDA 2501 grant, partial registration scholarships are available for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) participants. Learn about the USDA 2501 Program.
