As the average age of America's farmers reaches 60, the next generation of farmers and ranchers are seeking innovative ways to gain access to the knowledge, resources and markets that will become available. One way to creatively address these obstacles for new farmers is Farm Incubator programs. This factsheet aims to outline the information and resources compiled during a Comprehensive Needs Assessment conducted during the Development Phase of an Incubator Farm program in Northern Colorado. The resulting complete list of incubator programs nationwide is complemented by a spreadsheet of important characteristics and details related to these different Farm Incubator models. By creating a comprehensive list, individuals interested in starting an incubator program in their community can consider which properties are appropriate for their community.born digitalreportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
