"Mimi Arnstein is a success story in the farming world. After starting her farm from scratch, she quickly became viable and profitable, and remains consistently so. Not only is she a role model for others wanting to farm, Mimi happily shares her knowledge of farm production and business skills. Her passion for farming and energetic personality are contagious. I highly recommend working with Mimi."
- Richard Wiswall, organic farmer and author of The Organic Farmer’s Business Handbook
"Mimi is joy to work with. She fits in the special category of farmers that have their boots on the ground while their management-brain is always focused on what's important to the business. I've seen her cut through the confusion of day to day farm challenges and deliver practical analysis and planning tools to help a manager take control of their own business. Her experience with her own farm-business, on other successful farms and as an engaged contributor on statewide initiatives make her an asset to any group tackling tough questions and looking for real solutions on farms."

"Mimi has been one of our ‘go-to’ farmer presenters at classes and workshops for beginning farmers. She’s passionate about farming, listens carefully to what we’re seeking in a presentation, and arrives thoroughly prepared to deliver! Whatever the topic — production, marketing or business management — Mimi does a fantastic job of connecting with students and sharing her experience in ways that enrich their learning.”

“As the vegetable and berry specialist with University of Vermont Extension, I have worked with Mimi Arnstein for more than a decade now, visiting her farm, holding workshops there, and working on educational programs together. I know that Mimi does an outstanding job with many aspects of commercial vegetable production and small farm business management, from nutrient management to cover cropping to pest control and marketing. I also know several farmers that she has consulted with and they have been extremely pleased with her services.”
