We know that for university students, it can be challenging to bridge the gap between classroom and life beyond university. Our Farm School program offers one avenue for students educated in sustainable agriculture and environmental studies to gain hands-on experience of working farming systems.
The Farm School at Ridgewood Ranch is an immersive, intensive introduction to small-scale agriculture. Located on a working ranch in Northern California, the School draws on the rich agricultural history of Mendocino County and the myriad of initiatives in sustainable and regenerative farming and land stewardship that have grown up here.
The School of Adaptive Agriculture has been providing agricultural education and support in Northern California for 10+ years through its Farm School, Farm Incubator and farmer training programs. We ask your help in sharing the opportunity for an immersion in local farming systems with your students. The program includes work-learn experiences on nearby farms, classes in small-scale agriculture from market gardening to grain and livestock production on a small scale, and farm tours in Mendocino and neighboring Sonoma counties. Students live in a rustic setting, with communal meals and plenty of opportunities for discussion and work with mentors. For more information, please refer students to https://
We believe that regional and global networks of land tenders, educators, and farmers need each other to build resilient and restorative food systems.
