What is an ‘incubator farm?’
An incubator farm is a training program designed to minimize key entry barriers to aspiring farmers. Typically, plots are leased to farmers for a specified period of time for an extremely low rate. The goal is for farmers who graduate from the program to leave with the skills and resources necessary to acquire their own land and formally launch their business. Stay tuned to learn what other features will be a part of the incubator program at Shepherd University’s Agricultural Innovation Center!
