The 15-acre certified organic Student Organic Farm, including its 20,000 sq ft of passive solar greenhouse space, is used as a learning platform for the Organic Farmer Training Program. The program is taught through a mix of lectures, readings, written assignments, hands-on demonstrations, hands-on activities, farm walks, and visits to other Michigan farms that build participants’ knowledge and understanding of organic farming principles and practices. The program focuses on technical knowledge and skills while providing hands-on learning. The OFTP is a robust learning platform for those who are committed to owning their own farm business, managing farm operations or working with others on their path to food production and sustainable agriculture.
