Applications are now open for FarmPath, a national, multi-year program designed to make farming more accessible and achievable for aspiring and beginning farmers across the U.S.  The free, three-year program provides practical education in best practices for resilient agriculture and farm management, access to experienced mentors, and connections to a national network of professionals working across food and agriculture.

FarmPath integrates training in production skills with in-depth instruction on the systems, markets, and decisions that shape long-term success.

“Through structured business training, mentorship, professional networks, and up to $10,000 in implementation funding," said Shari Rogge-Fidler, the president and CEO of Farm Foundation.  "FarmPath is Farm Foundation’s direct investment in a new generation of farmers prepared to meet this moment in American agriculture."
