The purpose of the training is to provide family farms and other innovative agricultural enterprises with competitive business management tools, helping to ensure that farming remains a viable, regional industry here for years to come.
The class consists of 10 sessions over an 11-week period through April 7. The sessions will cover a variety of topics, including: financial management, business planning, legal and estate issues and product development and marketing. Tuition is $99; however tuition will be fully refunded to individuals who successfully complete the courses. ShoreBank Enterprises Pacific, a nonprofit community development corporation in Coos Bay, has teamed up with Southwestern Oregon Community College's Business Development Center to bring this program to Oregon's south coast.
