Farm Coaching and Consulting

  • Coaching is an on-going relationship
    3 month minimum.
  • Consulting is generally one or two meetings.
    Often a visit to your site is important.

Our Goals

  • Identify and strengthen the weakest links in your farm systems.
  • Help you design and develop a successful farm based on the unique syntheses of your land, people, and business.
  • Help you identify and find the resources that you need to accomplish your goals.

“The farm is a synthesis of the land, the people, and the business. A blending. A new entity with a personality–that is the farm. No two combinations are the same; each farm is unique, with its own character.” Excerpt, Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works, Atina Diffley

Coaching

Coaching consists of two sessions each month for a minimum of three months—an ongoing relationship. This schedule allows us to engage at a deep level and gives you time between sessions to incorporate changes and do research. Successful system development requires time to learn, incorporate, and continue to fine tune. Sessions are conducted over the telephone or in-person on our farm. Generally your off-season is the most productive time to do this work.

Coaching Fees

$200/month—this includes two 60-minute sessions per month and email support between sessions as needed.

Consulting

Consulting generally consists of one or two meetings. Often a visit to your site is important.
