How to support the Seed Farm

To continue breaking the training,
equipment and land barriers for new
farmers, The Seed Farm needs support.
The Seed Farm appreciates both financial
and in-kind contributions.

3 areas that need your support…

… New Farmer Training

Training new farmers in the diverse
skills they need to succeed takes time.
Seed Farm apprentices and stewards re-
ceive thousands of hours in training and
mentoring in areas ranging from business
and farm planning to pest and soil man-
agement. Here’s how far your donation
could go:

.
$75 supports a day of training
.
$300 supports a week of training
.
$5,000 supports six months of training


… New Farm Business Infrastructure

.
$250 keeps our greenhouse running
for one month
.
$40,000 buys a basic pole building for
equipment and dry storage
.
$60,000 enhances the pole building
with bathroom, heated office and
classroom space, and adds a washing
and packing area


… Equipment Purchases and Maintenance

.
$90 provides new hand hoes and
transplanters for six apprentices
.
$500 maintains our BCS tiller and
other small equipment for one year
.
$1,500 keeps our tractor running
