Ready to take that first step towards actualizing your farming dreams?
Enroll in our Business Planning and Coaching program- we're here to root you on during this exciting journey.
We provide tailored assistance through pivotal moments, and while some farmers need short-term support, the majority of our work with clients evolves over years.
Whether you’re stepping into farming, or pursuing a long-held dream, our Business Planning and Coaching program supports Vermont farmers at all stages in their journey - and we also acknowledge the unique needs and aspirations of new and beginning farmers. We consistently see the results that increasing financial literacy and business confidence have- in enhancing quality of life and boosting efficiencies farm wide.
What We Offer
Goal-Oriented Approach: we value being able to take a holistic approach to our work with clients, and our process is centered around your goals from the first conversation. By identifying your authentic farm/ life goals, we can create a roadmap that empowers you to achieve success on your terms.
Personalized Business Planning: From developing your initial farm business idea to crafting a comprehensive business plan and doing a deep dive into the financial statements, our experienced team will work closely with you to support you in your decision-making process.
Confidential Support: Your time with us is entirely confidential. We create a safe space for you to explore your goals, challenges and aspirations without reservation.
Flexibility and Adaptability: We understand that every farm is unique, and so are your needs. Our services are flexible and customizable, ensuring that we meet you exactly where you are. This also means that our work together is fueled by your motivation and commitment; what you get out of this process starts with what you’re willing to put into it.
Coaching and Skill Building: We’re yet to meet a farmer that started their farm because their main goal was to become a business owner, but with all the external challenges farmers are facing today (from high interest rates to natural disasters)- it takes prioritizing business management to ensure the long-term viability of your farm. We provide coaching and resources to help you master essential skills such as marketing, financial management, and recordkeeping.
Teams-Based approach: none of us hold all the answers individually, which is why, as members of the Farm Business Team, we’re encouraged to develop our unique professional interests- rooted in our own farming backgrounds. Each of us has our own specialties, and the strength of our services lies in our collaboration; it’s not uncommon we’ll pull each other in for mutual meetings with clients to ensure we’re providing the most robust resources.
