The business side of farming is often more challenging than growing the food itself—and that’s where we come in. We support farmers and ranchers across the state with tools to build more resilient, profitable farm businesses.
Through group training, personalized consultations, coordinated outreach, and strong partnerships, we help producers navigate the complexities of running a farm business while connecting you to resources that make a difference.
Online Training
We develop free and low-cost online courses by and for Texas farmers and ranchers on TXFED.org.
We also host interactive virtual events on business and marketing topics – check out the TXFED Additional Learning page for past recordings, key takeaways, and resources.
In Person Training
We conduct in person training and outreach at conferences and events throughout Texas.
We’re also in partnership with the Waco National Women in Agriculture Association to host in-person workshops, field days, and a conference serving a 9-county area of the Brazos Valley.
If you want our team to host a presentation or training event for your group, please contact us!
1-on-1 Consultations
Our Farm Business Services team offers a farm business coaching service and individual consultations to identify potential wholesale buyers of local food products, assist with USDA and TDA program applications, and help beginning farmers navigate resources to build a strong farm business.
We currently provide our services free of charge thanks to USDA grant funding.
