Our Programs
Sustainable Agriculture
Through this vocational program, participants are provided with training in the concepts and practices of organic gardening and small-scale farming using regenerative techniques. Participants will have the opportunity to select one of the three fields of study, (crops, flowers, nursery), where they will enter the next level of learning and expertise in their field of study. In addition to the hands-on experience, the Sustainable Agriculture program will also provide job readiness workshops and entrepreneurial training to prepare graduates for a competitive market.
Workshops and Classes
We offer a variety of agricultural training classes and workshops for our community. We welcome participants of all ages and skill levels. Our classes are focused on gaining hands on practical gardening and food growing skills that our participants can implement once at home. We offer a variety of fun workshops and learning experiences, such as shrub making, flower arrangement, fermenting, and much more. Check back for updates on class and course listings.
