The beginners guide to crowdfunding a farm

Funding a farm isn’t easy. Equipment, personnel, and promotional material all rapidly eat up precious resources. If you’re a new farmer, you’re probably searching for ways to reach the startup capital you need or to get those necessary cash infusions to boost your ability to scale up.

One of the most innovative ways to start a farm today is crowdfunding. Crowdfunding a farm boils down to convincing your friends, family, and community to invest in your dream farm. The funding method offers a kickstart to your marketing strategy and a funding option with no repayment, all in one tantalizing package.

But the reality is that crowdfunding is a challenging way to raise money, especially for those unfamiliar with issues unique to crowdfunding. It takes a lot of research, planning, and several weeks of good hard hustle. That’s why Upstart University put together a helpful guide to crowdfunding for those considering raising money for their farming project through this unique approach.
