Also check out the Virginia Beginning Farmer and Rancher Coalition. The long-term goal of the Virginia Beginning Farmer & Rancher Coalition (VBFRC) is to improve opportunities for beginning farmers and ranchers to establish and sustain viable agricultural operations and communities in Virginia. To reach our goal, we support the development and enhancement of whole farm planning curriculum and training, online resources, and social networking. Unique to the VBFRC is its coalition of agricultural organizations and farm business that work together to develop and implement these aims.
