  • white house on a hill

Intentionally identifying goals, resources, and systems to manage a farm operation is essential at any stage of the business cycle. Assessing the current state of the farm business, agreeing on where the decision makers desire the business to evolve, and collectively determining how to achieve these outcomes brings key players together. Whole farm/succession planning can be complex and involve multiple topics. UNH Extension offers educational resources, consultations and often grant funded support for NH farms.
