Peer groups are a great way to learn and advance your family farm by networking and learning from fellow like-minded farms. Subject-matter-focused peer groups give participants the opportunity to deep dive and learn from experts as well as from members of other operations that also have a focus in that area. The learning does not stop when the meeting concludes. Our peer group members act as a support system outside of the meetings, sharing information and best practices to help their fellow members succeed.

“UnCommon Farms has provided a lot of resources I never had when I started farming. My son's 18 years old and he's here with me now in this GM peer group learning from these guys that have years and years and years of experience.”
