Explore Farming! Course

We are now registering students for the next Explore Farming! course. These courses take place on a rolling basis, and the next class will be scheduled once an adequate number of students have enrolled. The class meets for one or two sessions, and is taught three or four times per year.

During the class we will discuss some of the challenges and rewards of farm ownership, as opposed to other means of satisfying your interest in farming. A primary goal of the course is to encourage you to think realistically about the financial feasibility of starting and growing your own farm businesses. Most of the participants have worked on farms for at least one season, and know that they love farming, but are interested in learning how to start their own farm businesses. Whether you decide to pursue starting your own farm business, or would rather continue farming in another way, we have lots of resources to help you move forward in your farming career.

To register for the next class, please complete the Explore Farming Application (pdf), and e-mail to nesfp@tufts.edu.
