The instructors at the Organic Farming Certificate
Program are committed to preparing graduates who will be ready
to enter or re-enter their careers and lives with a well rounded
and practical perspective on organic farming and the sustainable
agriculture movement. To this end, students are engaged in classroom
style learning, discussions, and labs. In addition, students are
exposed to a more “apprentice” style learning. They
work in the hoop houses, greenhouses and fields along side their
instructors and farmers with the expectation that as their competency
increases, they will take on more and more responsibility of the
farm operations. Students will also have assignments and opportunities
to be presenters and teachers.
Additionally, MSU Organic Farming Certificate
Program takes great pride in the high level of instruction the
students receive. Pulling from a variety of backgrounds and experience,
the SOF team is composed of knowledgeable and passionate instructors,
all of whom have made a personal commitment to organic farming
and sustainable living.
