Here's great local assistance for those wanting to small scale farm.
We farm, in our case grow veggies and fruits using regenerative practices, on less than two acres. We run a farmstand, CSA for about 50 families per week, and participate in the occasional farmer's market.
Local food needs more veggie growers. If you have any interest please sign up for this educational workshop.
Introduction to Agriculture Business and Agriculture Options for Small Acreage Landowners
Day 1 - Introduction to Agriculture Business
Our first day focuses on an Introduction to Agriculture Business.
We will have presentations from Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), and AgriLife Extension covering their various programs that are available to help producers.
We will also have presenters covering Texas AgrAbility, the BattleGround to Breaking Ground Program, Rural Business Ideas, and basics of Agriculture Business planning.
Day 2 - Agriculture Options for Small Acreage Landowners
We will cover agriculture options for small-acreage landowners. In this, we will be looking at what type(s) of livestock and/or horticulture options that fit into the realm of small acreage.
