Become a Mentor

Pass it on. The industry needs what you know.

Farming is full of uncertainty. The Growing Farmer Mentorship program gives farmers something reliable: each other.

We match farmers, new to the industry or looking to develop new skills, with experienced mentors to build genuine, lasting connections and grow their confidence - so that when markets turn or a new practice isn't going to plan, they know they can find a solution.

WHY MENTOR

Your experience is worth more than you think

Farming has changed fast. New farmers have more access to information than ever before but less access to the hard-won, practical knowledge that comes from years in the field. That's where you come in.

Build the next generation

Share the skills and instincts that took you years to develop, and help a new farmer find their footing faster.

Strengthen the community

Farming is stronger when farmers look out for each other. Mentorship builds the kind of trust that holds an industry together.

Leave something behind

Your knowledge doesn't have to retire when you do. A mentorship relationship is a real legacy - one that grows beyond your own operation

WHAT TO EXPECT

Simple, flexible, on your terms

We know your time is valuable, which is why we've designed this program to fit around your schedule.

	A suggested commitment of a few hours per month - calls, visits, or messages, however works best for you and your match.
	Matches are made based on location, expertise, and farming type, so the relationship feels natural from the start.
	Your set the pace. There's no rigid schedule, just a genuine connection you build over time.
	We'll check in with you throughout the program to make sure the match is working and to answer any of your questions.
