If you’ve ever dreamed of operating your own small farm business or currently own one, this class provides with an overview of the key factors you need to consider before starting a small farm
business. Develop an inventory and assessment of the natural and physical resources of your farm (soil, water, climate) which determine your crop selection options, as well as, the skill set of the
people who will be working and managing the farm business. In addition, it will give you the opportunity to think about the values you bring into the business and create a foundation to move
forward by setting goals.
