Well, this morning I thought I would post a few web links to places that offer resources to new farmers. Some may seem geographically oriented but in many cases, ideas and resources can be used elsewhere.
- Growing New Farmers - This is the internet presence of the New England Small Farm Institute. From their website: "Use this site to connect with programs, services, and resources for new farmers throughout the 12 Northeast states. Get help finding answers to many common farming questions, and ask us your own. Join in discussions with other farmers and with service providers, and connect with organizations and businesses that care about supporting new farmers."
- Beginning Farm Resource Center - Operated by Cornell University, this site has a lot of great information for anyone wanting to farm. Their FAQ section is exceptionally good.
- Small Farm New Farm Internet Resource - Operated by Ohio State University, this is a no-frills website with good resources.
- ATTRA - National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service - If you want sustainable farming information, this should be your first stop. They have tens of thousands of pages, covering all aspects of starting a farm, marketing, organic production and certification, planning, social aspects of farming, budgeting, funding... I could go on. Please check them out.
