A free In-Depth Farm Financial Workshop is being held Monday, Nov. 3, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at CEI Office, 30 Federal St, Brunswick. This workshop is for any farmers interested in learning more about tools to use for and gaining knowledge about their farm's financial needs.

"Join one of the most engaging and impactful teachers on small farm finances, Julia Shanks, for a one-day intensive course that will focus on three core concepts: developing a chart of accounts, enterprise budgeting, and forecasting sales and expenses to build a cash flow projection for your farm," said Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. 

This daylong workshop will be part “lecture” and part practice; you will review key concepts in farm financial management and then work together on your individual businesses with the support of the instructor.

"Expect to go home with new knowledge and tools for your farm’s financial needs," said MOFGA.

All attendees will be eligible for up to 6 hours of free follow-up technical assistance from a professional farm financial advisor. 

Registration is required. Attendance capped at 30 (up to 2 people from the same farm business can attend). Beverages and snacks will be provided; bring your own lunch.

This work is supported by the Northeast Extension Risk Management project award no. 2024-70027-42540, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
