Citywide Certificate

Our Citywide Certificate in Urban Agriculture is designed as a comprehensive two year program structured around core & advanced courses, with a season-long farm apprenticeship completed after the first year. Our courses are taught by experienced urban farmers, and take place on weekday evenings and weekends to accommodate a busy workweek. Through engaging, site-based education, our classes offer comprehensive professional training in urban agriculture and cultivate future leaders in the food justice movement.

This year, we are only accepting applications for the Citywide Certificate program as we revision the Farm Intensive Certificate. We are currently planning what a one year Citywide program would look like. We hope you’ll attend an Info Session, so we can answer any questions you might have.
