OUR MISSION IS TO ENHANCE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF FARMS AND RANCHES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
FARRMS empowers people to dream and realize those dreams creating thriving, exciting, diverse, and sustainable communities. We link people, good food, living farms and ranches, and the environment through hands-on educational experiences. We model sustainability by balancing environment, society, and economics through our programming.
FARMERS TEACHING FARMERS FOR STRONGER LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS is a multi-year grant under the USDA NRCS Conservation Collaboration Grants program. The farmers we serve report a need for peer support, mentorship, and access to information and resources. We will develop a mentorship program and host farmer socials, workshops, classes, and farm tours to address these needs. Experienced farmers and ranchers will be recruited and incentivized to spend time mentoring new farmers and ranchers. Project success is determined by increased completion rates in FARRMS' programs, farmers reporting higher skill levels on core compentencies, and resilient peer support networks leading to farmer collaborations and a stregthened local food system.
FARM BEGINNINGS Farm Beginnings is a multi-session farm business planning course. This farmer focused training program includes sessions on identifying personal values, selecting an enterprise, natural resources management, record keeping, farm food safety and more. Over several session students work through the process of creating a sustainable business plan called a whole farm plan. FARRMS offers the service marked Farm Beginnings course as a member of the Farm Beginnings Collaborative (www.farmbeginningscollaborative.org).
