Program Description:
FOW was created to address many significant issues confronting the Northeast region- to fill the gap created when farmers retire and no one to take their place; to farm land preserved with farmland preservation dollars; to promote the economic viability and ecological benefits of a local food system, and to provide economic opportunities for immigrants who want to farm. Farmers of the World is an internship program for experienced immigrant and other farmers, providing them with technical and educational assistance. The goal is to provide hands-on, comprehensive farming experiences on land leased from local landowners through a long-term lease. Local farmers will help as mentors and educational programs will be provided on marketing, business planning, and a wide variety of agriculture related topics and techniques.
