The local food movement seems to be gaining more and more momentum every year. People are more interested now in the quality of their produce and where it comes from. A new group of farmers has emerged supporting these changing attitudes- the small-scale local farmer. This new breed of small-scale farmer comes from many backgrounds- retired professionals, millennials, stay-at-home parents and many others. But all of these people face similar challenges, such as access to farmable land, startup capital, lack of agricultural education and training and lack of on-the-job training. Luckily, UGA Extension is offering training aimed at addressing the needs of new and potential small-scale farmers.
