Sustainable agriculture is important! This ROP class, taught by Mr. Goran on campus at our farm, is a great way to learn about careers in this industry. 

 

This class provides students with a unique hands-on learning experience and opportunity to participate in a student-run business. Students learn about various urban agriculture techniques including organic horticulture, aquaponics, vertical gardening, composting, seedling preparation, soil biology, nutrient cycles, pest management, crop rotation, harvesting, and small farm management and entrepreneurship.  Students will have the opportunity to participate in a student-run business where they will grow food organically from seed to plate, market and sell produce to local businesses, create a farmers market on campus, and explore cross-curricular studies with other classes such as food and nutrition, science, and economics.
