Whole Farm Planning helps beginning farmers maintain or improve profitability while enhancing their sustainability. With Whole Farm Planning, beginning farmers define long-and short-term goals to achieve a better quality of life at home and in the community.

LEARN FROM:

• VSU Small Farm Outreach Agents as they review the Whole Farm Planning manual;

• Farm Credit representatives with instruction on how to develop a simple, one-page business plan;

• USDA agency representatives who will share information about available services and resources for farmers.

Space is limited to 25 participants.
