E-Learning

“I just thought it was so cool that Young Agrarians had a business course that was specific to farming… For the past couple of years, I have had one foot in farming and one foot still in the professional world, so [the Business Bootcamp] also helped me have the confidence to finally say, ‘Okay, I’m gonna do this for real.’”

“If you are a person who has never started a business, the [Business] Bootcamp is extraordinarily valuable. It is an education in all aspects of a farm business… It doesn’t feel like a classroom, rather like a group of friends learning around a campfire with wise older family friends sprinkled around to share their years of experience.”

“Since completing the [Business] Bootcamp, I feel a lot more confident and organized. We’ve been working on building our farm’s brand and social media presence, and we’ve even purchased business cards and a banner for our market stand. We’re taking small steps in the right direction.”

“I got a lot out of it. My favourite was the week that we had the breakout rooms with the farmers and were able to ask any questions…[YA] courses are making me feel more confident that I can do this and do it in a way that is exciting for me.”

“It was an exciting and inspiring experience. It was a welcoming and inclusive environment. It was well organized…Since doing the course I feel confident I can apply for jobs on farms and start working.”

“It was a wonderful experience! I learned a lot of valuable information and connected with many experienced farmers and like-minded classmates…If you’re curious about farming and want to take the next step and learn more – I highly recommend this course!”
