Program Overview:
La Nueva Siembra is not just about business—it's about nurturing dreams, fostering growth, and sowing the seeds of possibility. This annual hybrid program provides a nurturing environment for experienced agricultural workers who are Spanish-first, to learn entirely in Spanish as they embark on their entrepreneurial journey. Through immersive learning experiences, participants not only learn the essentials of business creation but also discover the power of collaboration and solidarity within a supportive community.

As participants, you'll learn from industry experts and peers alike, blending virtual sessions with in-person workshops. From March to June, you'll engage in lively discussions, hands-on activities, and collaborative presentations, all aimed at empowering you to turn your agricultural dreams into reality.
Program Objectives:
La Nueva Siembra is more than a program—it's a journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. It's about planting seeds of hope, nurturing dreams, and watching them bloom into beautiful realities.
The course will support in developing understanding of the components involved in creating an agricultural business. At the end of the course, participants are asked to present what was learned in the course and present it in class as evidence of growth and understanding.
