The Small Farm Startup School is for small-scale landowners or renters interested in learning how to use land for agricultural purposes. You will develop an agricultural business plan you can take to a loan office.
This course will provide new and beginning farmers with a solid background in small farm operations, management, and business planning. Topics are tailored to the tri-county area.
The seven-week course meets on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 8 p.m., September 11 to October 30. There will also be two Saturday farm tours on September 28 and October 19.
Registration includes participation for two people from the same farm, dinner for all 7 weeks, handouts and publications, farm tours, and a farm visit from your local Extension educators.
University of Minnesota Extension is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services, and activities. To request accommodations for persons with disabilities contact Emily Hansen at hans6005@umn.edu, two weeks before the start of the event. Requests received after this date will be honored whenever possible.
