Technical Assistance for Farm Incubation and Education through Land-based skills Development (FIELD) Programs
We are able to offer free technical assistance to apprentice, incubator, and other agricultural land based collaborative program staff from around the country. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions or receive feedback about your beginning or established program by speaking with New Entry staff and expertise within our FIELD Network.
Areas of Support Offered:
- Strategic Visioning and Program Planning
- Fundraising and Partnerships

- Program Evaluation
- Beginning Farmer Curriculum Development
- Conflict Management
- Regional and National Resources
- Shared Land-Use Learnings, Lease Templates and Language
To get started with this process, please submit our Technical Assistance Intake Form.
- If you are new to the FIELD Network, the form will ask for detailed information on your organization to be able to tailor technical assistance and make connections to organizations similar to yours. Please allow for 30-minutes to provide this information, after the initial intake you can request technical assistance without providing organizational information.
- If you have any questions surrounding the form please email National Program Manager Colleen Hanley, Colleen.hanley@tufts.edu.
- If you have already provided organizational information through FIELD Network's Census or a prior Technical Assistance Request, you will only be asked to submit what you are requesting support with.
- Once the Technical Assistance Intake Form is completed you will receive an email and a call will be scheduled!
