Experiential and Immersive Coursework

Farm to Table

Students explore organic food production systems and learn how to grow food using ecologically informed methods. They also learn how to put these methods into practice from a business operating perspective. Students learn maintenance and safety practices for these systems.

Sustainable Agriculture for Small Farms

Viewing the farm as an ecosystem, learners will explore the relationships between soil and plant health. They will evaluate strategies for monitoring and maintaining soil health, capturing and using water efficiently, managing pests, and using season extension structures. The course culminates in the development of a farm management plan that incorporates sustainable practices to deliver the best outcomes.
