We’re offering a special opportunity to participate in “The Farmer’s Edge.”
This Fall, we will launch a new program to give farmers and food entrepreneurs access to webinars, classes, coaching and mentoring. As we build our content, we will be recording a series of webinars and workshops.
This October, we will record classes to offer them online. You can participate in this course for $95. (That’s $400 off the regular price!)
Please note: I will record each session. By registering for this class you understand and agree that the sessions will be recorded; and anything you say during the sessions may be shared. You may join the sessions and “listen only” if you do not want your name or voice recorded and shared.
Scroll down for dates and times of sessions.
Whether you struggle to understand the economics of your business or just want to increase your farm’s profitability, this course is for you! Each session, you will delve into specific business topics that will help you maximize your farm’s profitability.
Group sessions meet on-line for 2 hours each time. The first part is devoted to a specific business topic, such as QuickBooks or Cash Flow Budgeting. The remaining portion of each class is an open discussion for participants to ask specific questions about their businesses.
