Minnesota Farmers' Market Association - Grow Your Green Farm Profitability

Grow Your Green Farm Profitability (GYG-FP) is an initiative of MFMA to help more farmers achieve farm profitability, so they can continue to help grow more farmers' markets, and feed their communities. Click the Farmers Program and OPen Office Hours below for more information and to apply.

To optimize the impact of the GYG-FP program, the workbook and monthly coaching are free for anyone to use. The workbook is free to download in the Resource Room; use it to help you create your own farm financial records. It's designed to train financial principles, with multiple activities included (with the answers!) to reinforce the principles. Also in the Resource Room are templates for other financial tools like the Farm Ledger, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow.

When you have questions or need more help, feel free to register for our free Open Office Hours, offered twice every month from 7-8pm on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month, all year. Click Open Office Hours for exact dates and times and to get the zoom link.
