Experiential Farm Skills

Summer Farm Skills provides an opportunity for students to explore food and regenerative agriculture, while developing hands-on organic farming skills. This summer class meets for 3 hours a week on the Farm. We will maximize hands-in-the-dirt time during the busy season on the farm: planting, weeding, composting, harvesting, mulching, saving seeds, and honey harvest from the apiary. Students will also learn about permaculture concepts, ecosystem maintenance, and food justice. Readings from the text Greenhorns: The Next Generation of American Farmers; written reflections, and a narrative self-evaluation round out this course.
