Farm Narrative

Are you ready to write a Farm Narrative?

A Farm Narrative is meant to help you think and reflect on your goals, your situation, and your vision. Ultimately, the ideal plan for the land you steward is the one that best fits your goals. Filling out a Farm Narrative will help you identify what you want to do, who can help, and what resources are available. It’s a critical step in making sure agroforestry is a great fit!
