How can Good Farm help you?

Some farmers will have done more planning than others, so Good Farm is set up to provide different stages of targeted information, resources and expertise, relative to where you’re at in your journey.

1. First things first - start your plan.

Where do you want to be in five years? In 25 years? The first step in planning is to decide your vision for where you want to get to. This stage is about having a goal, and business plan with clear, achievable steps to get you there. And this starts with knowing where your business and finances are at now.

This stage of Good Farm is for people looking for a source of clear advice on what is needed to meet government regulation, as a sound starting point for any planning work.

A key goal of the Good Farm project is to support farm businesses keen to get ahead of incoming regulatory and market challenges by bringing them better information on how to integrate changes across the whole farm system.

“Great planning can lead to better efficiencies and outcomes on-farm. It’s a reassuring feeling to have a plan and know exactly what you’re needing to achieve and when. It’s when there’s no plan, or a lack of understanding, that things become daunting and lead to anxiety or anger. That’s not what we want for Taranaki farmers.”
