Whether you’re a farmers’ market or a commercial produce group, we can help you get organized. There are many considerations, including legal structures, setting your goals and objectives, and creating a strategy for governance and decision making. We can help you take the next step towards viability!
You might have a farm stand that you want to turn into a farm store, or just be wondering if you can afford to sell your chicken directly to consumers. Either way we can create a plan that will get you started and make you more competitive for financing and grants.
We have done projects in every corner of Virginia and most places in between too. We strive to provide solutions to every type of operation, big or small, niche or generalized.
