Welcome to our Consulting Services Request Form

Welcome to SFA's Consulting Services Application! Our consulting services are an extension of our farmer-to-farmer network, rooted in the belief that meaningful change in agriculture happens farmer by farmer, acre by acre. All of our consultants are experienced farmers and practitioners in their areas of expertise. Please complete the application below to request SFA's consulting services. Your responses will remain confidential. Once we review your application, one of our consultants will schedule a free phone or Zoom consultation to discuss your farm and determine the best next steps.

Our Approach

If a farm visit is deemed appropriate, your request will be forwarded to an SFA consultant, who will coordinate with you to schedule the visit.

We understand that not every question will apply to all farms, especially for those just starting out. Please do your best to answer each question or consider them thoughtfully if you don’t have a specific response. This information helps our consultants better understand your unique context, provide tailored recommendations, and identify opportunities for your operation. We look forward to working with you!
