Western New York Beginning Farmers and Homesteaders Discussion Group

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County’s Agriculture Program created the Western New York Beginning Farmers and Homesteaders group.  This Group has continued to be successful and has created an online learning community which you may join by visiting www.facebook.com/groups/wnybfah

The Western New York Beginning Farmers and Homesteaders Discussion Group which has about 200 members is a closed and moderated online community that operates as a Facebook Group. The page is moderated by Katelyn Walley-Stoll, Farm Business Management Educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County. The group strives to be a source of support, education, and news of upcoming events for beginning farmers and homesteaders across Western New York.

The Western New York Beginning Farmers and Homesteaders Facebook Group is a part of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County’s L.E.A.F (Learn. Empower. Achieve. Farm.) program. The L.E.A.F Program is open to beginning farmers, established farms looking to diversify and grow, agriculture enthusiasts, homesteaders, and everyone in between.
