This is the place where agricultural knowledge about sustainable farming, smaller scale operations, direct marketing, and other farming topics is traded. Our goal is to provide information about courses, workshops and other farmer training events to help make your farm a reality ... to help you make it financially successful ... to help you obtain the deep satisfaction that comes from your connection to the land. The focus of this web site is on small farms in Manitoba, however many of the ideas, subjects and courses provided can be scaled and applied in other contexts.
If you are a farmer or aspiring farmer, you will find courses and workshops offered by a range of providers, including institutions like the University of Manitoba, programs like Manitoba Farm Mentorship, and individuals who are experts in a specific field. We encourage all types of learning including in-class, hands-on and experiential opportunities.
If you are a course or workshop provider this is the place to advertise your existence and your passion for a specific subject.
The emphasis of these courses is practical learning that you can apply to your farm or market garden. You may be curious about soil fertility, for example, but do not want to take a degree in soil science. This web site allows you to cater your learning to your own needs. Welcome here!
