Program Description
FMFP is located on a 70 acre farm in Lancaster, Massachusetts where small farmers from diverse ethnic and agrarian backgrounds develop the agricultural production and marketing skills necessary to become successful farmers. An emphasis of this project is hands-on training which provides the appropriate information and skills these farmers need in order to implement sustainable farming practices. Each farmer is given access to land and water for irrigation as part of their participation in this project.
