How to Buy a Farm With No Money; The Resourceful Farmers' Guide to Working With the USDA's Farm Service Agency in Bloomington, MN

How to Buy a Farm With No Money is a guide to working with the USDA to purchase land and home for farming. It covers such topics as how to get started in farming, filing a DBA, taxes, growing your farming operation, cultivating community, and includes tips and suggestions for involving the whole family. This resource provides detailed steps for reaching out to your local USDA Service Center, with an overview of the different loans and the process that applicants can expect to face, as well as strategies and advice on crowdfunding. It is my hope that this book will help other beginning farmers find their way to farm-ownership─especially the women.
