Introduction

Thank you for your interest in Pasa’s Services. The purpose of this survey is to provide Pasa with information about you, your farm and your interest in enrolling in any of our programs or service offerings. This form should take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. This survey will be kept private, and any data collected will not be shared with funders with any personally identifying (your farm or you) information.

Expectations for service offering participation include the following:

Follow the provided practice guidelines for regenerative and conservation practices
Commit to sharing relevant data from your project with Pasa
Engage with staff, and/or technical assistant providers from Pasa through on-farm visits, phone calls, and other communications

Having a high-level understanding of your farming operation, services, and needs will help in quickly completing this interest form.

Please note: Your responses help us better understand your current farm needs, and we will try our best to connect you with our current funding resources. While we aim to distribute these funds to as many participants as possible, funding is limited and support cannot be guaranteed for every individual need. Some services are federally-funded and require farmers to be US Citizens or US Residents, but we still want to know what your needs are and we will attempt to secure other funding where a farmer doesn't qualify. Sharing this information also ensures we have it on file for the future if other types of funding become available. Thank you for partnering with us and for taking the survey.
