Free Farm Design Tools & Planning Resources
These farm enterprise planning spreadsheets are practical financial models built from the experience of operating a diversified small farm. Each model breaks an enterprise down into production assumptions, revenue, operating costs, labor, and profitability so you can see what an enterprise actually requires to produce and sell a given volume of product.
The spreadsheets are fully editable, allowing you to replace the assumptions with your own prices, yields, labor rates, production scale, and other costs. They are intended as planning tools rather than universal budgets: the economics of any enterprise will vary significantly by farm, region, production system, and market.
Use them to test different production scenarios, identify the costs and labor associated with an enterprise, and determine whether a particular enterprise makes sense within your farm's larger operation.
Enterprise Spreadsheets
These are presentations from past conferences and workshops covering practical lessons from operating and planning a diversified farm. They are shared freely as resources for farmers and landowners working through the real-world questions of production, economics, and farm development.
