Land, Loans & Grants:
The 3-Day Farm Funding Challenge
Find the Money. Secure the Land. Grow Your Farm.
You know exactly what you want for your farm—but where do you find the funding to make it happen?
Maybe you’ve spent hours searching for grants, loans, or creative financing options, only to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what you actually qualify for.
You’re not alone. Many small-scale farmers and land seekers struggle to access the capital, equipment, and land they need—but the good news is, there are solutions!
That’s why I created Land, Loans, & Grants: The 3-Day Farm Funding Challenge—a live challenge designed to help you break through barriers and start securing the funding you need.
I hosted live sessions of this course in early 2025 received AMAZING feedback, so I’m launching this again in both English and Spanish in January 2026.
Take a peek below to see what we’ll cover, and take advantage of early bird pricing before it increases January 1st, 2026.
