VERMONT — Vermont farm, forest and maple business owners may sign up for a free, individualized coaching session with a University of Vermont (UVM) Extension business expert. One-on-one meetings by phone or videoconferencing will be offered from late February through June.
Appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis and must be reserved no later than Thursday of the week prior to the desired time slot. Appointments are 90 minutes and may be booked with one of the following UVM Extension specialists: Tony Kitsos (farm), Chris Lindgren (forest or maple), Betsy Miller (farm) or Zac Smith (farm or digital marketing).
