Exploring the Small Farm Dream: Is Farming Right for You?
Wednesdays, 5:30-7:30pm

^{Oct 22nd, 29th, Nov 5th & 12th}

^Zoom

During this four-part series taught by trained facilitator Laura Biasillo, Agricultural Economic Development Specialist at Cornell Cooperative Extension Broome County, participants will begin to think through small-scale farming as a business (rather than a hobby), learn what it takes to start and manage a farm business, and decide whether that is something they want to pursue. Through virtual education, peer support and self-study participants will finish the series ready to answer whether farming is for them, and move onto working through a business plan. Access to guest speakers, local service providers, and a farmer panel, will enable participants to gain real-world understanding of the enterprises they are looking to start, or scale up to commercial level.

The cost to attend this workshop is $50/farm. Registration includes the Exploring the Small Farm Dream workbook, and a pre-loaded flash drive with resources and worksheets. There is no cost for farms located in Chemung County due to support from Cornell Cooperative Extension Chemung County 

For more information call (607) 584-5007 or e-mail lw257@cornell.edu.

There is a minimum attendance of 8-10 farms for this series to occur. Please register ASAP, or by October 17^th, to ensure enough time to mail the workbook to registrants.
