Beginning Farmer Project

Resources For Beginning/Growing Farms

ASAP's Beginning Farmer Project is a collaboration with Mountain BizWorks, Organic Growers School, and other partners. Together, we work to foster the success of new, beginning, and growing farms in the Southern Appalachians. From 2010 to 2013, we will all aim to make the path to farm success clearer, easier to find, and more well-worn.

The services and resources described on the pages below are offered with beginning farmers in mind, but they may be extended to, and useful for, all farmers in our service region. This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.
