Why Farm? Consulting employs a multi-tiered process in order to best understand and accomplish your goals. We bill transparently and in a stepwise fashion. As fitting, we will refer you to a trusted partner in our network if we determine they are better able to meet your needs. To be crystal clear: we do NOT sell products nor are we paid to endorse services of any kind.
Stage One: Interviews
We begin by interviewing family and key farm members in order to understand your farm’s history, individual values, goals, and perceived challenges as well as those of the business. We will then propose a strategic plan to communicate and address challenges in order to honor your values and reach your personal and business goals.
Cost: Actual travel cost + variable cost based on number of interviewees (estimate provided prior to farm visit).
Stage Two: Values/Goals Analyses
Why Farm? Consulting will employ a variety of tools and consult those in our network to analyze your interviews in order to define values and goals of individuals as well as of those of the business. We will then synthesize a summary of these values and a proposed plan to strengthen your family and business.
Cost: Variable based on family/business size and breadth of strategic plan required.
Stage Three: Collaborative Planning
Why Farm? Consulting will organize a meeting with farm members to present the findings of their analyses and facilitate the development and implementation of a strategic plan. This plan will serve to balance the values and goals of each individual with others as well as with those of the business.
Cost: Variable based on actual travel and meeting facilitation costs
Stage Four: Retention
Why Farm? Consulting will follow-up with members of the farm to ensure that the plan has been implemented and is succeeding. As needed, the plan may be altered to meet the dynamic needs of both family and farm.
Cost: Variable based on frequency and breadth of retention plan (as determined during Stage Three).
