WBDC Orientation - for Farming and Agricultural businesses

Event description

Are you an agricultural producer or farm business owner who loves working the land, but enjoys running the business side of your operation a bit less? The Women’s Business Development Council (WBDC) can help both male and female-owned operations!

Join WBDC's Laura Blake and Jackie Carter to discover the resources WBDC offers to Connecticut’s agricultural community—most of which are provided at NO COST. Whether you’re launching a new agritourism venture, looking to expand your farm's production, or ready to scale your farm-to-table enterprise, we have support tailored for every stage of your agricultural journey:

• Entrepreneurial & Financial Education: Business planning, financial management, and risk mitigation strategies designed for businesses.
• 1-on-1 Business Advising: Custom guidance on operations, marketing, and business growth.
• Capital & Grant Programs: Funding opportunities to help finance equipment, infrastructure, and expansion.
• Community Network: Connection to a powerful network of fellow Connecticut farm owners and agricultural leaders.

WBDC is here to help drive your farm or farm-related business forward in a tangible, accessible way.

Presented in collaboration with Connecticut Resource Conservation & Development Area Inc. and the Women's Business Development Council of CT.
