Project Overview

Annie’s Project has proven successful as a comprehensive educational program and support network for farm women, in helping them to learn to understand and manage the farm business. The curriculum focuses on farm and family financial management with opportunities to learn specifics about legal aspects, marketing, business planning, estate planning, insurance, communications and other important topics. One significant component of Annie´s Project is the opportunity for women to network with other women who are involved in agriculture in their geographical area. A total of 62 women participated in Annie’s Projects in three different New Jersey Counties (Cape May, Hunterdon Counties and Somerset Counties). Participants gained a better understanding of business planning and finances and the impact on their families and farm business.

Topics Covered: Insurance; marketing; financial records, analysis, and benchmarking; business and strategic planning; business succession; estate planning; legal liability; interpersonal, family and business relationships.

Number of Participants: 62
