ROCHESTER, Minn. — An advanced whole farm financial planning workshop will be offered by the Land Stewardship Project’s Farm Beginnings program Saturday, Jan. 24, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Heintz Center in Rochester. The fee is $20 for Land Stewardship Project members and $65 for non-members. If you become a member while registering, you save $10. For details and to reserve a spot, contact LSP's Amy Bacigalupo at amyb@landstewardshipproject.org or 320-269-2105.
This workshop will be led by certified Holistic Management instructor Larry Johnson, and will build on concepts covered in a typical introductory Holistic Management course. It is open to Farm Beginnings participants (either current students or graduates), as well as others interested in reviewing whole farm financial planning.
Farm Beginnings provides training to beginning farmers who are seeking innovative and profitable ways to make a living on the land. In 2009, classes will be held in Spicer, Minn., and River Falls, Wis. Classes start in mid-October and run through March.
