Starting a Farm

In terms of planning for a farm business, we have a few resources that you may find helpful. 

Our Plan Your Farm Hub is a free online course full of tutorials to get started planning a small farm business. This is the best place to start, as going through this course will help give you more specific questions that can guide support. 

We also have a suite of more than two dozen online courses offered with tiered pricing that cover a range of business and production topics.

If you are farming in New York, our Guide to Farming is a great resource that contains fact sheets on everything from financing an operation, regulations on marketing and processing, and tax benefits of farming.

For more individualized, local support we recommend connecting with your county cooperative extension office and regional ag team (those links are for New York, if you are in another state then check here).
