Description:
At one time, farmers in the Napa Valley raised a wide variety of crops. Napa Valley Adult Education and Napa Valley College are joining forces to prepare a new generation of Small Scale Farmers to help re-establish crop diversity in the valley and create good paying jobs. Working under the guidance of a Master Farmer, first year students will start a small farm at Napa Valley College’s St. Helena campus, and second and third year students will continue to farm on local leased property. Students will be coached not only on crop selection and growing techniques, but also how to market those crops to local businesses and or sell at Farmer’s Market.
