The creators of the Beginning Farmers site describe it as “an effort to develop a comprehensive and up to date compilation of information resources for new, experienced, and potential farmers, as well as educators, activists, and policy makers interested in the development of new farm enterprises.”![](http://www.farmvetco.org/"wp-content/uploads//2010/03/P1000877.jpg "P1000877")
With “special emphasis on resources for small farms, organic farming, direct marketing, and building local food systems.” The site is an effort by Taylor Reid and Jim Bingen of the Department of Community, Agriculture, Recreation, and Resource Studies at Michigan State University. (emphasis mine)
The site has many pages including Finding Land, Jobs and Internships, Training Programs and Business Planning. It also offers a Farmers Discussion Forum.
Worth checking out whether you’re a new farmer or an experienced one trying to keep up with the latest research.
