ABOUT THIS OSU EXTENSION SERVICE SMALL FARMS EVENT
What To Do with My Small Farm, Selecting an Enterprise for Small Acreages
You may not recognize the complicated web of detail involved in your decision of what to do with your acreage. The owners of small farms vary in both resources and aspirations. Many people are interested in having a few animals, growing some fruits and vegetables, and providing a high-quality rural lifestyle for their families. Others seek to manage a small farm intensively to produce supplemental or total family income.
This class offers resources about getting your small farm started and guide you through these major factors that interact with and influence each other: 1) Goals for the farm; 2) Physical resources of the farm;
3) Family resources and skills; 4) Type of farm enterprise and crop produced.
The class will address basic information such as how to determine your water rights and soil type, and how to navigate land use regulations, loans and financing.
