CT NOFA's Whole Farm Planning Certificate Course provides new and aspiring farmers with the hands-on training to plan and manage successful farm businesses. Participants will
develop a whole farm plan that begins with holistic goal setting, reflection, and a realistic assessment of resources, skills, and markets. Participants will learn critical business planning and management skills necessary to successfully implement the whole farm plan.
"This training reinforces my belief in farming as a sustainable lifestyle that is beneficial not only to my immediate family, but to the environment and the community as well. It relieves the anxiety of "fear of failure" as a beginning farmer and builds confidence and concrete business skills at the beginning stage." - Min Tang-Schomer, 2014-2015 course participant
This 10-week course on Saturdays starts December 5, 2015 and runs through April 2016.
