the UBC Farm Practicum is a six-month, April-October — or four-month,
April-August — 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 guest speakers,
field trips to various farming operations within the province, and your
very own plots for individual and shared production. The program can be
taken for academic credits, or as a non-credit Certificate program.

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 UBC Farm
Practicum website for detailed information and to begin your application
