Farmer Participants are exposed to the realities of running an independent farm: not just the work of producing food, but the details of running a successful business. It is a primary goal of the program to encourage farmers to think realistically about the feasibility of running and owning their own farm operation, and ultimately build the skills to run successful small farm enterprises upon graduation. Starting in January and continuing through the growing season, Farmer Participants attend classes on the topics of production, marketing and operating a farm business. Winter classes are held weekly in St. Paul, while trainings during the growing season are held at Big River Farms or on other nearby farms.
