Farm Business Coaching Interest Form

This application is for the Maryland Agribusiness Coaching Level 2 coaching program. 

This accelerator program will host an eight-week cohort focused on business planning, marketing, and financial strategies. This course is not for beginners looking to gain basic knowledge of agriculture or business planning. If you are looking for educational resources to help you start a business, please check out our Maryland Beginning Farmer Success program. 

If you are a current farmer or food entrepreneur, please fill out this application to participate in an intermediate course designed to help you take actionable steps towards achieving your business goals, securing funding, and expanding their market reach. 

The next round of the course starts Sept 28 and ends Nov. 20, 2026.

You will complete online coursework at your own pace. Extension faculty will meet with you via Zoom office hours to discuss your goals and provide feedback on your draft materials. 

At the end of the course, a professional business consultant will review your plan and provide tailored feedback from a financing perspective.

This training is offered at no cost to you, thanks to a grant from AgriProspects, a project of the Extension Foundation and the United States Department of Agriculture.
