Are you interested in helping new farmers build strong businesses? Do you have a farmer-training program you want to take to the next level? Learn the keys to success in helping farmers launch new businesses from two members of an established farmer-training network – Farm Beginnings®. They will share the stages of development for beginning farmers, how to lay the groundwork for a successful beginning farmer-training program, how to further develop a program that has already seen success. They will also touch on some of the challenges and opportunities they are experiencing as they work to build social and racial justice into their farmer training programs, and creating the capacity to serve more diverse audiences.
