You may have already discovered that “cookie cutter” approaches don’t work well in farming; what works on one farm or for one farmer may not work for another. There is no formula or tool for getting you from A to Z, but the case study does step you through what beginning farmers need to think about before starting their own enterprise.
It is recommended you read through the case study once from beginning to end, then use it as a reference document and revisit appropriate sections as needed. Although a PDF version is provided, reading the case study online is optimal due to the number of external resources to which it is linked. The case study has also been laid out with as many internal links as possible to help you navigate the information and find resources that are relevant in multiple locations.
Resources are provided as links within the text and in various sidebars called “Educator’s Perspective: Resource Tips” or “Farmer’s Perspective: On the Bookshelf.” Other sidebars called “At A Glance” and “Farmer’s Perspective: Lessons Learned” provide supplemental details and insight.
