More about HOP: Through our Harvesting Our Potential we pair aspiring and beginning farmers with seasoned farmers for a season of mentorship. Participants are matched with mentors who are involved in the type of farming that they are interested in embarking upon to get hands-on experience. Mentorships typically last 8-10 weeks and stipends are given to both parties. Skill building mentorships for existing farmers are also available. Mentorships are currently available in Iowa and Ohio, with the potential to offer mentorships in other midwestern states.
