Start a School Farm

We are here to help educational institutions through the process with up to $5k (amount can change) in financial aid.

This will impact your institution by…

  • employ & educate students

  • create interest in sustainable farming

  • produce healthy food for students and the community

  • hopefully lower tuition

  • create interest in farming as a career/business that will help their community

You will receive a business plan template

Apply and you will receive a template that includes but not limited to:

  1. A strategy to change the mindset of the community that farming is not a low status way of living but the opposite. Industrious, hardship is part of education students should learn for their development and future success (a treasure).

  2. A farming plan (plants and/or livestock). If needed, HTI will recommend volunteer consultants in this area.

  3. Describe the market for the farm produce – this can include the local farmer’s market.

  4. Describe the source of additional funds – local government, loans.

  5. Take the training in a brief course in business ethics – How to run a small business with honesty and integrity (to be provided by HTI).
