Practical farmer wisdom
Wherever you farm in the United States, you're probably within driving distance of a sustainable farming conference. Featuring workshops, farm tours, keynote speakers and informal networking opportunities, these events can be invaluable for gaining practical advice and inspiration. These farmer- centered gatherings are also the best places to become acquainted with the networks of people exploring organic production and marketing in your area and your type of enterprise.
Organic agriculture is continually evolving. This course will give you a basic understanding of organic agriculture and the tools you need to begin farming successfully. Our approach is to pass on practical farmer wisdom that will help you farm well. We're going to give you what you need to know to begin building a self-sustaining, self-reliant and self-correcting organic system. Each farm is unique: It's up to you—through careful observation, application and fine-tuning—to create the best model for your particular situation.
