"Is Entrepreneurial Farming For You?” Workshops

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own farm business? “Is Entrepreneurial Farming For You?” (IEFFY) is a four-hour, interactive workshop designed to help you learn what it takes to do just that!

Participants in IEFFY workshops will have the opportunity to meet experienced sustainable farmers as well as other prospective farmers. They will learn about different successful farm enterprises, and be able to ask questions about the genesis and development of farm businesses. The workshop will cover resource assessment, goal-setting, financial planning and marketing options. IEFFY will help you learn what it takes to start and manage your own farm-based business, and decide whether this is the path you are ready to take.
