About This Grant
Provides mentoring and specialized business training — including marketing, accounting, business planning, and advanced sustainable farm practices — for new farmers in Montgomery County. The program matches new farmers with private landowners in the Agricultural Reserve so farmers can start on a long-term leased site right away, skipping the shared-space incubator phase. Participants also get access to shared farm equipment and technical resources to help launch their farm enterprise. Note:...
