Mentee Application

Thank you for your interest in our mentorship program for farms seeking to improve or expand their operation. The OEFFA Mentoring Program exists to serve early career farmers (3-9 years) who either currently operate or manage a farm business or who have prior experience doing so. Please complete this application to submit your interest in becoming a mentee.

Applications are received and reviewed annually in the fall. As mentoring relationships are made in response to the specific needs and interests of mentees and the available mentors, a mentoring opportunity is not guaranteed.

Typically, but not always, mentoring matches are made December-February. The Begin Farming Program Coordinator will be in periodic communication to clarify the likelihood that a mentoring match will be available for consideration.
