Maestro Permitting Program
Permitting Perfected.
The Maestro program is a consultant-based resource that connects farmers to the right technical service providers needed to meet unique needs of their farm. Working with the Maestro program, farmers will receive ongoing collaboration to keep the permitting process moving forward, from the initial application to ongoing reporting. Additionally, the program will be creating a network of service providers familiar with the permitting process who have successfully worked with other farmers.

Member Testimonials

Creamery Creek Holsteins
“We communicate with Tim (Baumgartner) every month through Maestro when he provides reminders and helpful checklists to make sure we’re meeting necessary deadlines for our permit. He’s also great for bouncing ideas or questions off. He’ll either know the answer or know who to point me to talk to, and quite honestly, the price is kind of a bargain when you consider the hourly rate for other expert consultants.”
