New Farmer videos

The NY Beginning Farmer Project has a dozen videos for new and beginning farmers available at CornellCast. In this ‘Voices of Experience’ series, you’ll find the kind of dirt-under-the-fingernails advice that can only come from someone who’s been there.

The NY Beginning Farmer Project is led by a team of Cornell Cooperative Extension Educators in partnership with the Cornell Small Farms Program. The project, launched in 2006 in response to increasing interest in farm start-ups, aims to enhance the likelihood of success of new ag enterprises by making the best resources and training available to new and diversifying farmers.

To see all dozen videos, visit CornellCast and enter ‘new farmer’ in the search box.

The project also offers distancing learning courses for new and beginning farmers, including two slated to begin March 5:

  • BF 101: What Do I Need to Do to Start a Farm Business?
  • BF 201: Marketing Your Farm

Visit the project’s course page for more information. Registration will be available in January.
