Welcome to our Small Scale Farming Training Program!
We, at FoodLab, believe that farming on smaller parcels of land in a biointensive way is the future of food production. It’s a different type of farming than conventional farming that can lead to higher yields and higher profits, while respecting the environment. It’s a technique and a practice.
FoodLab’s Small-scale Farming Training Program includes guided instruction through the Market Garden Institute Masterclass , a course developed by J.M. Fortier and the Garden Market Institute. Fortier developed and tested a biointensive growing method that increases the soil’s biology and works with nature to achieve maximum yields on small parcels.
FoodLab’s Small Scale Farming Training Program will be offered online and in person. The Garden Market Institute program is offered as a complete program online. Class meetings will meet in-person on the Stony Brook Southampton Campus on Wednesdays from 2-4pm or 4-6pm. There is an option to attend the ‘in-person’ classes virtually.
The cost of the program is $1997. This price includes life-time access to the online course with all of the technical sheets and videos as well as the additional benefit of having an experienced farmer as an instructor and one to two site visits. Our program encourages participants to develop a community network and to learn from each other.
