Professional References
In addition to resources found at these farm support organizations, we have compiled a list of Rhode Island family farm business advisors. Please read the attached Oregon State University’s “Tips for Hiring a Professional Advisor” as you preview these advisors. This appendix posting is provided as a service to family farm businesses and does not indicate an endorsement of these advisors or firms or a denouncement of other advisors or firms not listed. Some of these advisors or firms may offer a discounted fee structure for professional services based on financial need; however, we are not making any representation or guarantee of that and their selection was not based upon that criteria.
