The Northeast Beginning Farmer Project is hosted by the Cornell Small Farms Program.
Cornell Small Farms Program Mission
Our mission is to foster the sustainability of diverse, thriving small farms that contribute to food security, healthy rural communities, and the
environment. We do this by encouraging small farms-focused research and extension programs and fostering collaboration in support of small farms.
