Seeking Advice and Tips for Starting Agriculture Journey

Hello Farm Fresh RI Community,

My name is Gome, and I am excited to embark on a new journey in farming. I have always been passionate about sustainable agriculture and local food systems, and I am eager to learn from the experiences and wisdom of this wonderful community. I also research about this and came across to this resource FARM TO SCHOOL & COMMUNITY EDUCATION SALESFORCE CPQ TUTORIAL

As a beginner, I am looking for your advice and tips on several aspects of farming, including:

Choosing the Right Crops
Soil Preparation
Sustainable Practices
Pest and Disease Management
Equipment and Tools
Local Resources and Support

I am grateful for any insights, experiences, or resources you can share. Your support means a lot as I take these first steps into farming. Thank you in advance for your generosity and guidance!

Best Regards

Hi Gome!

So happy you’re diving into the farming world.

You could join Young Farmer Network Newsletter or follow us on Instagram, if you don’t already. We posted our June Newsletter a few days ago and it has all sorts of good resources for the area. Might be helpful!

http://www.youngfarmernight.org. We host Young Farmer Nights at folks farms throughout SE Mass and have one coming up this Friday in Dartmouth MA. You can find more info on our site.

NOFA RI also has a mentorship program and Big Train Farm has Seed to Seed Farm School that might be something youre into! Talking to other growers and touring folks farms is indispensable when first starting out, even doing a workshare 4 hours a week in exchange for veggies would get you in the field working along side other folks learning w/o much commitment! https://nofari.org , Host Farms – Seed-to-Seed Farm School
