Short Course: Exploring the Small Farm Dream – Virginia

Is starting an agricultural business right for you? What is it? “Exploring the Small Farm Dream” was first developed by the New England Small Farm Institute to address a gap in practical short courses for small farm explorers, who are interested in starting a small farm operation but, unsure how to evaluate ideas, opportunities and resources.. If you’ve considered starting a small farm enterprise, but aren’t sure where to start, this course is for you! Participants can expect: - Creative exercises, research and class, discussions that will help you assess your skills and resources - Interviews with local farm business owners that will assist you in deciding how to carry your dream forward - The opportunity to connect with others interested in starting new agricultural enterprises in our region
