Introduction

Welcome to FARMroots, Greenmarket’s technical assistance program. FARMroots offers access to business planning, legal counsel, succession planning and other services to ensure the long-term viability of all Greenmarket farms and operations. FARMroots staff provide services in-house while also referring producers to a diverse partner network of consultants and advisors.

THE CURRENT APPLICATION IS A ROLLING APPLICATION.

The application should take about fifteen minutes to complete. The questions pertain to general information about you and your farm business, including ownership, management, and production. However, you shouldn't need any other documents to complete the application. Please feel free to respond with your best guess; exact numbers are not required.

Once accepted into the program, producers will have an introductory meeting with FARMroots staff to begin the assessment process, and identify the priorities for the farm and operation.
