The Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems has been running intensive workshops for beginning farmers since 1995. Our schools, taught by experienced farmers, are packed with practical, how-to information, insights, inspiration, and a dose of the sometimes harsh realities involved in making a living from the land. These schools afford you the unique opportunity to spend concentrated time with grower instructors and a group of aspiring beginning farmers, learning what it takes to start and operate a small farm business.
