Applications Open for Farm Beginnings Class

Land Stewardship Project is taking applications for its upcoming Farm Beginnings Class, a year-long training program for new and prospective farmers. The class focuses on the goal-setting, marketing, and financial skills needed to establish a successful farm business. Participants will name their vision, acquire the tools they need to make it happen, learn from farmers, and become part of a community of support to help them succeed. The Farm Beginnings Class is held primarily online, with a few in-person sessions taking place in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. The bulk of the class will run from December 2025 through March 2026. The deadline for applications is September 1, 2025. Early-bird applications submitted by August 1, 2025, and accepted will receive a $100 discount. Scholarships are available.
