During this four-part series taught by trained facilitator Laura Biasillo, Agricultural Economic Development Specialist at Cornell Cooperative Extension Broome County, participants will begin to think through small-scale farming as a business (rather than a hobby), learn what it takes to start and manage a farm business, and decide whether that is something they want to pursue. Through in-classroom education, peer support and self-study participants will finish the series ready to answer whether farming is for them, and move onto working through a business plan. Access to guest speakers, local service providers, and a farmer panel, will enable participants to gain real-world understanding of the enterprises they are looking to start, or scale up to commercial level.
The cost to attend this workshop is $25.00/farm. Registration includes the Exploring the Small Farm Dream workbook, a pre-loaded flash drive with resources and worksheets, a binder and printed worksheets for each session. Light refreshments will be provided at each session.
