SAG 497 provides students with hands-on experience working on a diverse produce farm and marketing the produce in the local community. Students receive in-depth training across the full range of production and marketing activities under the guidance of the course instructors and the staff of the CSA team. Students will also undertake management of specific crops in the growing season and see those crops through their life cycle and market them to customers. SAG 497 students will also explore foundational writings that have guided the sustainable agriculture movement and the scientific underpinnings of farm management practices.
