The Colorado Farmable Program, funded by a 2501 grant held by Goodwill of Colorado, assists underserved and veteran farmers and ranchers in Colorado with agricultural business planning. The "From Field to Funded" course, lasting 8-10 weeks, provides no-cost business planning education, helping participants create lender-ready business plans. The program, which includes one-on-one technical assistance, has had 10 participants in its first cohort and aims for 10 per cohort. Success stories include a veteran flower farmer near Canyon City who is 90% complete with his business plan, aided by ongoing support from the program.
