Project Overview
Marin Organic provided marketing, financial, legal, and production risk training to beginning organic and conventional farmers. Marin Organic provided resources to build a foundation of knowledge and expertise for a target audience of farmers interested in pursuing the organic market in Marin, Sonoma, and Solano counties. Five classroom workshops and two in-depth on-farm workshops were conducted, and one mentorship was developed and supported. Participants in Farming 101worked to create resilient and viable businesses by learning important marketing skills, strategic planning, and learning ways to understand and mitigate critical financial, legal and production risks to their farms. Workshops included timely risk management strategies related to labor and water resource issues. 175 producers participated in the 5 classroom workshops, gaining new knowledge and skills in an effort to increase their financial and legal security, and enable them to implement production and marketing practices that will develop and enhance profitability.
