Farm Beginnings

MOFGA Farm Beginnings is a farmer-led program to help guide those with a strong commitment to creating a sustainable farm business achieve their goals.

Designed for producers with at least one year of sales records, this 9 week business course helps farmers and food producers develop a whole farm plan through realistic goal setting, reflection, and assessment of resources, skills and markets – and gives you the business planning tools necessary to successfully implement the plan. Sign up opens early October each year with the course running December- February with a holiday break. This is a required component of the Journeyperson Program.
