[BCFSN] Young Agrarians Mentorship

[Melanie Buffel]

*Are you a young (or young at heart) animal or vegetable producer living in
British Columbia? Are you operating a new farm and looking for guidance to
grow your business?*

Young Agrarians is excited to offer the ninth season (woohoo!) of the BC
Business Mentorship Network! This program pairs new and seasoned farmers
together to cultivate the skills for running ecologically sustainable and
financially viable businesses. Mentors support you to dig into the business
of farming and lay the groundwork for your farm’s long term viability.
*What You Get:*

As a participant in this program you will receive 30 hours of one-on-one
mentorship with an experienced farmer as mentor, financial training,
opportunities for peer networking, and greater online visibility through YA
social channels.

Mentors will help you evaluate multiple facets of your business:
production, operations, marketing, financial and risk management, as well
as assist in developing and implementing strategic business goals for the
upcoming season and beyond.

Priority will be given (but not limited) to applicants who are new entrants
into agriculture, residing in British Columbia, ages 18-35, having been in
operation for 1-5 years.
