The Map of Beginning Farmer Resources in Michigan is an interactive tool showing over 70 programs for beginning and aspiring farmers in Michigan. View the map at https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1b2NWhSG1wsdID-yRYacAJCI4IHUG7mf5?usp=sharing 

Listings feature short videos, a website link, a program description, a list of programs offered for beginning and aspiring farmers and contact information. Color-coded resource icons can help beginning farmers target the resources they need, whether they are seeking land, funding, farm skills, marketing opportunities, conferences, advocacy organizations or other resources. The map was created with funding from NC SARE.

Two online trainings will share out how to use and share this resource, one for beginning and aspiring farmers and another for those who support beginning farmers as educators, technical service providers or who work in advocacy organizations.
