Arizona Ag Business Boot Camp

About the Program:

As part of the new Southwest Regional Food Business Center, Connecting Ag, in partnership with Local First Arizona, is developing more business support services for small farmers. As we work together to help increase small farm capacity and success rates, we are rolling out an Arizona Ag Business Boot Camp in 2025.

This program will focus on providing practical skills and tools for starting or expanding an agriculture business using peer-to-peer learning, webinars, 1-1 tailored support, and hands-on learning workshops. Enrollment costs will be covered by the Center.

In preparation for developing the AZ Ag Boot Camp, we are seeking input from farmers to help inform how to shape it, including topics offered, when and how they're offered, and what they feel are their greatest needs.

If you’re a farmer, please complete this Arizona Ag Business Boot Camp Survey .

The survey will be open through November 6th and should take less than 10 minutes to complete.  Thank you!

Registration will be coming soon …

The registration form to apply for the first cohort, which will run during Winter 2025, will open soon so stay tuned for when it is announced. Join our Newsletter below to receive updates!
