How big does the “Farm” have to be? I am studying feverishly on own to start an organic garden but I don’t have a whole lot of land.

This program is specifically set up for individuals interested in starting a farm project for the purpose of – selling at farmers markets, starting a CSA, or using the produce that is grown in some other professional capacity.
Although a huge amount of land is not necessary to be considered for this program, the idea is that Freshman Farmers are taking agriculture to the next step beyond “back yard gardener.” Primarily PVFS has a commitment to this program to help increase the amount of local, organic produce that is grown and distributed in this country. This program helps individuals in their first stages of creating a farm that meets this demand for local sustainability.

Thanks for Growing Organically!
