Beginning Farmers

Supporting new farmers as they grow their future.

The Beginning Farmer Program provided us with an opportunity that we will never get again in our lifetime. It was the opportunity to be able to put our names on pieces of land and know that we are going to be able to continue our family’s century farming tradition for another generation.
