Starting a farm can get expensive fast.

Tractors, fencing, barns, equipment, livestock, infrastructure — it’s easy to feel pressure to buy everything at once. Many beginning farmers spend money on things they later realize they didn’t actually need right away.

This relaxed virtual gathering is designed for veterans and their caregivers/spouses interested in farming and homesteading.

We’ll discuss:
• equipment purchases
• infrastructure priorities
• livestock startup costs
• scaling too quickly
• balancing farm goals with financial reality
• lessons learned from real-world experience

Whether you are already farming, planning your first steps, or simply exploring the idea, you are welcome to join us.

No pressure. No experience required. Ask questions or simply listen in.

📅 Thursday, June 11
🕖 7:00 PM Eastern
