*MSU Organic Farmer Training Program to be offered in new format!*



We are excited to announce that the Organic Farmer Training Program (OFTP)
is being offered in a new format starting in 2017. The new OFTP is a more
robust learning platform for those who are committed to owning their own
farm business, managing farm operations, or working with others on their
path to food production and sustainable agriculture. These changes were
made to increase accessibility, focus on the highest impact program
components, and decrease costs for participants while providing a greater
focus on technical knowledge and skills.



*Content will be delivered through a mix of:*

   - Lectures
   - Readings
   - Written assignments
   - Hands-on demonstrations
   - Hands-on activities
   - Farm walks
   - Visits to other Michigan farms
   - Individual advising meetings

          *Duration*: 33 weeks of instruction, March 17th-November 17th
          *Class Time*: Fridays 9:00-5:00
          *Program Fee*: $3,600
