*The 2017 UBC Farm Practicum in Sustainable Agriculture - APPLY NOW!  *

Have you ever dreamed of having your own small farm, a small cottage, fresh
eggs from your chickens, growing, healthy organic vegetables and fruits?
If so, then maybe it's time to stop dreaming, and take action!  Make your
dream a reality by enrolling in the 2017 UBC Farm Practicum in Sustainable
Agriculture.


Situated within the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at the UBC Farm,
within the faculty of Land and Food Systems, the UBC Farm Practicum is an
eight-month (part-time, March-October), experiential-learning program,
designed for aspiring farmers, urban gardeners, environmental educators,
and students with an interest in applying their learning about sustainable
agriculture and food systems.   Participants gain a deeper understanding of
agricultural management and small-scale farming, and a network of
incredible people to support them along the way.  The main approach to
learning within the program is hands-on practice.  Participants carry out
seasonal farming activities with leadership provided by UBC Farm staff in
the greenhouses, gardens, fields, orchards, and at our farmers’ markets.
The program includes numerous guest speakers, including several UBC
professors, and field trips to various farming operations within the
province.


The UBC Farm is a 24-hectare gem, the largest urban farm in Vancouver,
British Columbia, and situated on a site with numerous research,
educational, and community outreach activities.  Please see the UBC Farm
Practicum website for detailed information:
