About the incubator: The Headwaters Farm Business Incubator is a five-year program located on Headwaters Farm in Gresham, Oregon. The program provides experienced farmers with access to land, equipment, business support, and a community of other farmers in a low-risk, financially subsidized environment. The goal is to lower common barriers to limited resource farmers and empower them to streamline their production methods, establish markets, and prepare their business for successful graduation from the program.
