The Cornell Small Farms Program is committed to helping connect farmers with expert support.
Who Can Help You Locally?
If you are in New York and looking for help from someone near your farm, be sure to check our Local Contacts page for your nearest Cornell Cooperative Extension Educator. They can answer your questions, connect you to local training and events, and even do a site visit to your farm.
If you are located in a different state, use this USDA Land-Grant Directory to find your local extension network and offices.
