FarmStart is a not-for-profit that was created to support and encourage a new generation of farmers to develop locally based, ecologically sound and economically viable agricultural enterprises.There are many challenges in agriculture today but there are also many exciting opportunities. By thinking about agriculture in new and innovative ways we can meet the challenges head on with a variety of solutions that promote a sustainable, healthy and regional food supply. We believe Successful farms make important contributions to the health and vibrancy of both rural and urban communities. Over the last 5 years we have been developing flexible programs in Ontario, that provide new farmers from all backgrounds with the resources, tools and support necessary to not only get their businesses off the ground, but to thrive. > FarmStart Up Programs> Training and Resources > FarmLINK.net
