Exclusive Strategy Session with Your Host, Michael Kilpatrick
Having owned and operated several businesses in the farming space, Michael has extensive hands-on experience with what it takes to build and grow a farming business.
He speaks at national conferences and has consulted with farms across the US.
Michael also runs his own farm (with value-added products), the Farm on Central. He not only "talks the talk" but he also "walks the walk"...in work boots.
In this strategy session, Michael will lay out the blueprint for what it takes to start your business.
Participants will also break up into small groups to share feedback on value-added business ideas. This is an amazing opportunity to meet and collaborate with your fellow farmers and business owners.
What if you could bring in an extra $1000 a week from your backyard or vacant lot?
Could you...
Like Curtis...
Like Anna Maria...
Anna Maria built a business teaching herbalism and permaculture with her husband and young son. As an accomplished herbalist, she also started a community-supported herbalism membership, where she shipped an herbal box each month to her customers.
Like Ruby...
You deserve more.
According to the USDA, over 90% of the food dollar winds up going to processors, marketers, and retailers.
And now, more than ever, is the best time for farmers to start producing clean, nutritious food for our communities and bypass the system.
That's why we created this summit - from farmers and artisans, for farmers - to learn how to make more from their farms with less work.
At our farm, we started down this road when we had an abundance of cucumbers. With my mom's recipe, we spent the afternoon shoving them into jars with garlic and dill.
Then we realized we had created a product we could sell for several months and also triple our profit.
That's what we want for you.
We want to see farmers relaxed, spending time with their families, enjoying their farm, and knowing they are feeding their communities amazing food, providing educational experiences, and being respected and valued.
