Do you have a dream of starting a farm? Join us this summer for Farm Dreams to explore your farm vision, connect with other aspiring farmers, learn about resources for beginning farmers in Vermont, and grow your understanding of farm business management and land access. 

This two-part series, designed specifically for aspiring and beginner farmers who are in the early stages of shaping their vision, will cover the basics and provide structured activities for you to develop your vision. Think of it as a friendly on-ramp to more in-depth support, like our year-long Farm Beginnings program. 


 Part one on 7/30 will take place in person, where we will tour Milkweed Farm, learn the story of how these beginning farm owners started their farm, and connect over shared snacks and drinks. 

Part two on 8/5 will take place virtually, via Zoom, and focus on holistic goal setting and skills assessment, and building out personal action plans.

Milkweed Farm is a Vermont Family Farmer of the Month awardee.
