The next Next Acre cohort will begin in October.

Next Acre is a strategic business acceleration program for farm and food entrepreneurs who are ready to take a closer look at their business, strengthen their systems, and plan for growth.

The program guides participants through a structured process of evaluating, strengthening, and scaling their businesses. Through facilitated workshops, individualized advising, peer learning, and practical planning tools, participants develop a comprehensive Strategic Growth Roadmap and leave with a clear action plan for implementation.

Next Acre may be a good fit for farmers and food business owners who are asking questions like:

• Where is my business headed next?

• What systems are holding us back?

• Are we ready to scale?

• What needs to change before we grow?

• How do we make stronger business decisions?

Participants do not just leave with ideas. The goal is to help each business owner create a clear roadmap they can use after the program ends.

Past participants have shared:

“Next Acre has really inspired me to hone in on the systems that are keeping us from moving to the next level of success. It has also given me a lot of confidence to make the necessary changes that I know will lead to real growth.”

“I’ve definitely gained perspective in my business from the program so far. It has caused me to pause and clearly think about where we are going and where we need to go from here.”

If you are a farm or food entrepreneur thinking seriously about your next stage of growth, this is a good time to learn more.
