    Starting smaller and being more profitable is better there being big
    Showing growth and plan out the layout of your farm as to where to place everything is very important

    The course was so informative and the processes of starting a farm were well explained. The person presenting on the videos was flowing with all the topics and one could see how easy it is being a farmer making business out of farming and the other proceeds going to the family. A really nice one!

  • Claudia Osorio
    This class provided actual hands-on information of what I need to start a farm. I was just thinking of the barn and Greenhouse, but now I know that I need a washing station, a cold room and all next to the vegetables. I learned that carrots need to be washed immediately, and that we have to start small and observed how we did the first year. To invest everything back on the farm and to remember that it is a business.
