Central Sierra: Beginning Farmers' Academy

Is it your dream to start a small farm or ranch? 

The Beginning Farmers Academy is a 1-day introduction to starting a small commercial farm or ranch and will help prospective farmers start their operations. 

Participants will learn to assess their resources, research markets, analyze the potential economic viability of their operations and learn what makes foothill farming different. 

The class is taught by University of California farm advisors and with a panel discussion lead by local experienced farmers and ranchers. The day will end with a farm tour of a successful local farm.
