Beginning Farmer Program: Incubator Farm Application
What is this "Incubator Farm?" Our Incubator Farm is a land leasing arrangement for beginning farmers who have farming experience and a business idea, but do not have access to land. It is a low-risk environment to launch your farming business and "test" your idea. You will have access to multiple acres of deer-fenced, irrigated land with equipment, business planning and marketing support plus barn space! The farm is located in Hillsborough, NJ at Duke Farms. Farmers who are accepted onto the Incubator Farm will also have access to educational scholarships.
