SERVICES

Tried & True Farm Consulting is here to support farmers, homesteaders, landowners, and agricultural entrepreneurs across the country. I provide practical, experience-based consulting services to small- to mid- sized vegetable growers, small berry and livestock producers who are looking to develop, improve, or evaluate agricultural properties and operations. I will work remotely with growers outside of my area, as well as provide in-person site visits to those who are located within 250 miles of Dutchess County, NY.
