BEGINNING FARMER PROGRAM
In order to address the growing concern that new farmers lack experience and access to land, NOFA-NJ has developed a four-tiered program, with the goal of increasing the numbers of farmers while bringing more farmland into sustainable agricultural production. The program is based on four principles of becoming a farmer: Exploring, Planning, Learning and Practicing. Mixing training and experiential learning opportunities with technical and networking support, this program has five main objectives over the next three years: 1) Offer a toolbox of classroom learning opportunities for all levels of farmers, 2) Create a formal network of existing farmers who will offer hands-on learning experiences, 3) Launch NOFA-NJ’s first Incubator Farm on Duke Farms Foundation property 4) Provide technical assistance to new and existing farmers, and 5) work with partners to increase access to farmland.
