This class series is designed for people who are considering or in the beginning stages of starting a farm as a business.
The Maryland Beginning Farmer Success Course is a ten-week introduction to the foundational topics an aspiring farmer in Maryland should know. Topics covered will include business planning, marketing, crop production, livestock husbandry, soil health, pest management, food safety, and regulations and certifications. Additional elective resources will cover more specialized topics, such as organic production, urban agriculture, and direct marketing to local customers.
The course is offered every winter, from February through April. It meets once a week for 10 weeks. You can attend entirely online, or there are two optional in person classes held simultaneously in several locations in central Maryland, depending on how many people RSVP from each county. There will also be readings/homework each week here on Extension Campus.
