Course Description

This Outback Farm course provides an opportunity for students to explore food and regenerative agriculture, while developing hands-on organic farming skills. This summer class will meet for 3 hours a week, outside on the farm and in face-to-face community. We will maximize hands-in-the-dirt time during the busy season on the farm: planting, weeding, composting, harvesting, mulching, saving seeds, and beekeeping.

Credit/Evaluation

S/U grading. Readings from the text Greenhorns: The Next Generation of American Farmers, written reflections, and a narrative self-evaluation round out this course.
