The Aspiring Farmers Academy will serve as an introduction to farming for those considering beginning an agricultural enterprise of their own. This academy is designed specifically for those who are interested or have just recently started a farm enterprise, but are looking for more information on the tools and guidance available. It will discuss the steps necessary for having a strong basis for your business, including the direction in which you wish to go and the playbook to get you there.

Cornell Cooperative Extension educators will cover topics important to the future of your business, including business planning, marketing, financial planning and the local resources available to you.

A $50 registration fee will be charged for this comprehensive weekend workshop, which includes all materials and meals. There are scholarships available for veterans interested in enrolling. Contact Bonnie Collins at 684-3001 ext. 104 for more details.
