FEES AND APPLICATION
$1500 FOR THE COACHING TERM
This price includes the coaching fee, housing and meals for THREE farm visits. Travel expenses are NOT included. Your assigned coach will be responsible to arrange the least expensive travel; either by air or ground transportation. Mileage expense is 57 cents a mile, round trip. Whether by ground or air travel, you will be expected to reimburse SPN-USA (for the travel expenses) at the time of the farm visit. If there are other farmers in your area that are in the mentoring program, your coach will do his/her best to coordinate travel so that expenses can be shared.
TWO PAYMENT OPTIONS
Option #1 – Pay the full amount of $1500. LINK BELOW
Option #2 - Pay down payment of $500. LINK BELOW
Pay the balance of $1,000 when your assigned coach arrives for your “first time consultation.” At that time, your coach will also go over the “mentoring agreement” with you.
SPN-USA will assign you a coach based on your specific needs and goals. If a specific coach is requested, additional fees may apply.
You may enter the mentoring membership at any time during the year. The membership is not determined by the calendar year; it is completed by mentoring you to become a Sustainable Poultry Farmer!
