Small-Scale Fruit & Vegetable Farmers/Growers
Farm Management for Small-Scale Fruit & Vegetable Farmers/Growers
Providing a wealth of farm management information, insights, and support related to small-scale diversified farming practices, agricultural programs, and market access, and aiding organizations in better serving the needs of farmers in English and Hmong.
The University of Wisconsin Division of Extension, in partnership with various organizations, established a Facebook community group for farmers as part of the “Strengthening Support Systems for Wisconsin HMoob Farmers” project, funded by the USDA. The group serves as a hub for farmers to connect, share knowledge, access resources, and receive education on land access, agricultural programs, and market opportunities. The project aims to empower farmers, enhance their visibility, and create a network of support for their economic success within Wisconsin’s food systems.
