Course Description
Experiential Farm Skills engages students in seasonal aspects of farm work, ecosystem maintenance, and important tasks for the autumn season. We create opportunities to discuss food, farming, sustainability, and methods for regenerating the environment while exploring the Outback campus farm. Classes will meet outside so we can focus on hands-on learning, gardening basics, and harvesting the seasonal bounty of the farm. Class sessions are two hours each week in addition to outside readings, reflective writing assignments, and a narrative self-evaluation.
