As the local food movement grows we will need more local farmers. The average age of your farmer today is over 55. If we want to feed everyone from a local sustainable small farm scale it will take 30 million farmers. Currently we only have 1/2 million.
Young adults are wanting to farm for a profession but they come from cities and don't have anyone to teach them.
Our school will be able to teach a person from novice to professional in 3 years.
Year after year we're turning students away due to lack of space. We get an average of 7-10 inquiries per week during the summer and 4-8 inquiries per week during the winter from young, energetic, eager to learn men and women from all corners of the United States. We need to have a place where we can cultivate, educate and inspire these future farmers.
Please help us make The Living Farm Education Center a reality.

Purchase 2 acres of land across the street from our farm. House the students in the mobile home already on the land for the next 2 years. Plant orchard, vines, asparagus and wood lot as funds permit.
