Project Overview

Our goal is to support Beginning Farmers with the foundational production skills, business knowledge, and confidence they need to build farm enterprises that respond to the ever-growing metropolitan demand for sustainably grown, source-identified produce. Within one year of receiving this grant, we have not only equipped beginning farmers with the knowledge to start their own farm, but helped 1/3 of those people gain the confidence to start their own farm next year.
