Farm Viability Service

If you are an agricultural producer in CT and would like to learn more about what UConn can offer farmers, the Farm Viability Service is a great place to start. We can guide you to resources and follow up to be sure your questions are answered. UConn has a strong network of people and programs who are dedicated to farmers’ success. Connecting with the Farm Viability Service can be your way to access this network, and grow into it becoming part of your own. 

The Farm Viability Service helps farmers connect with College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources (CAHNR) services and support. UConn Extension is within CAHNR, as are the Departments of Agricultural & Resource Economics, Animal Science, Plant Science & Landscape Architecture, and Natural Resources & the Environment, in addition to numerous other resources. We also help farmers make connections throughout the university. 

The Farm Viability Service helps to identify and understand farmers’ research needs, and convey these needs to relevant faculty at UConn. We also work to recognize opportunities for collaboration between farmers and UConn, and within UConn on behalf of farmers.
