Understanding how your operation performs financially is vital for running a successful and sustainable farm business. But surprisingly, there is little information out there to guide aspiring vegetable farmers in making financial decisions.
At this session we’ll share general highlights, insights, and different farm business models from our ongoing Diversified Vegetable Financial Benchmark Study. Topics will include markets, scale, and labor. We’ll also have a quick review of key financial benchmarking terms.
All approved apprentices, paired apprentices, and journeyworkers in our Diversified Vegetable Apprenticeship program are welcome to attend this session. Please bring along your thoughts and questions!
This event is closed to the general public. Pasa staff will reach out to participants directly.
