Business Planning

In early summer 2022, I was fortunate to find Mimi Thomas-Brooker, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Veteran Farming Network. Reflecting on our earliest conversations, I can’t even remember how I networked my way to Mimi. All I can say is that I’m glad I did.

For the past 18 months, Mimi has been perhaps our biggest supporter. She’s offered countless introductions to veteran farmers and other local farming contacts. She’s provided sage counsel on business planning including marketing, acquisitions/purchases, and other resources. And most recently, she accepted KASEN Farms into the inaugural PA Vets to Ag farm business planning cohort (!).

The cohort offers a chance to collaborate with other aspiring veteran farmers in Pennsylvania, work with a mentor who is an established PA veteran farmer, and ultimately author a business plan that will serve as a blueprint for farm operations here in York.

Thank you Mimi for your continued support and for all you do for Pennsylvania’s veteran farmers.
