The Northeast Beginning Farmer Project was founded by a team of educators who care deeply about supporting the success of new farmers. They are housed at the Cornell Small Farms Program. They also offer online courses taught by experienced Extension educators and using content from the website, and develop new informational resources for new farmers. When they initiated this beginning farmer work in 2006, they focused exclusively in NY, but now they are building connections among the many excellent organizations serving beginning farmers across the Northeast region.
