VetFarm Network Live
What Beginning Farmers Usually Overspend On
Thursday, June 11, 2026
7:00 PM Eastern
Hosted Live on Zoom
Starting a farm can get expensive fast.
Tractors, fencing, barns, equipment, livestock, infrastructure — it’s easy to feel pressure to buy everything at once. Many beginning farmers spend money on things they later realize they didn’t actually need right away.
Join us for a relaxed virtual gathering designed for veterans and their caregivers/spouses interested in farming and homesteading.
This month’s discussion will focus on:
• equipment and infrastructure purchases
• livestock startup considerations
• starting small and scaling sustainably
• balancing farm goals with financial reality
• lessons learned from real-world experience
Whether you are already farming, planning your first steps, or simply exploring the idea, you are welcome to join us.
No pressure. No experience required. Ask questions or simply listen in.
This session will not be recorded — join us live for the conversation.
Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
