Take the Service Assessment

"One of the primary goals for me is to figure out how can I transition our farm successfully from our parent generation to the next generation and see that go on to my children and so it's going to be a process. It's not something that you flip a switch or you make the decision and the next day it's transition. It's a long process and I feel like our association with UnCommon Farms is a resource I can continuously go to for help as new issues arise and I need help trying to figure out what the next step is and I feel like it's going to be a great resource going forward to be able to help set us up for success."
