Getting Started Farming: What to Do and Where to Get Help at UF IFAS Duval County Extension Office – Jacksonville, FL
Don’t miss this upcoming event in Jacksonville, FL. Happening on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at UF IFAS Duval County Extension Office. Doors open at 2:00 PM.
Nearly a third of Florida’s farmers have been farming for less than 10 years, and are therefore considered beginning farmers and ranchers. Running a successful farm operation takes long and short term planning, creativity and a supportive community. National and State statistics show our farming population is approaching retirement so Florida needs beginning farmers!
The Florida Cooperative Extension Service is in every Florida County and has staff with a wealth of experience. Come take the first step to becoming a farmer and learn how to produce food!
