Small Farms

The goal of the Douglas County Small Farms program is to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of small farms in our community by employing appropriate scale production and marketing techniques.

The program works toward improving small farm horticultural production, soil health quality, integrated pest management, poultry, forage production, and small-scale livestock.
