Beginning Farmers: Great Online Resource

Taylor Reid

If you are working on your business and marketing plans for 2013 (and we all should be), there's a great resource in a website called Beginning Farmers.  It's a one-stop online resource for beginning farmers, researchers, educators and policy makers.  

Beginningfarmers.org is a comprehensive compilation of information resources on farm funding, business planning, succession planning, marketing and much more.  

Interested in goat, chicken or mushroom production?  Looking for a farm job or apprenticeship?  Want to learn about organic farming?  The information is there.  And the best part?  This site is frequently updated so the information is current.
