Aspiring, new and diversifying farmers now have the opportunity to receive farm enterprise start-up training online. The NY Beginning Farmer Project, a collaborative effort of the Cornell Small Farms Program and Cooperative Extension educators, has developed a 9-week online course. The course is housed in a virtual "classroom" that can only be entered by registered participants. The lesson plan is similar to other new farmer trainings and curricula, starting with an assessment of goals and resources, moving through marketing, enterprise selection, and environmental stewardship practices, and ending with a hard look at profit potential and business planning. The course starts the week of March 19, and costs $200. Course size is limited. To register, call Kristen at 315-788-8450.
