Connecting farmers and ranchers with resources, markets, and communities to build a prosperous and resilient ag business.

Starting or expanding a farm business can be an exciting journey, but also overwhelming. Connecting Ag was born to make the process easier.

No two ranches or farms are the same, so we take a personalized approach in understanding your context and providing you with resources that can take your ag operation to the next level.

Whether it’s assistance with developing a business plan, writing a grant to purchase specialized equipment, or looking for ways to cover the costs of fencing for rotational grazing, we work with you to find resources that match your needs.  

Our services range from quick-answers to a more comprehensive business assessment. We collaborate with a network of partners including farmer-led cooperatives, nonprofits, government agencies, and organizations dedicated to building regenerative ecosystems and community-based food systems.

This means we pool from a diverse and wide circle of resources to find innovative ways of supporting you.

We offer one-on-one consulting by phone, Zoom, or in-person.
