oN-GOING FArm Transformation Plan
$2000 plus $1000 annually
This includes an annual visit and unlimited phone support.
This package includes in-take, two full day site visits, and eight virtual consults. We create your beginning transition action plan and teach you the steps. Then, at year two or an at an agronomically relevant benchmark time, we visit again and develop your Transition Realization Plan. Some goals like the development of forage rich pasture out of dry cropland require 3-4 years for full realization and you may request ongoing light coaching.
