Central Wyoming College announced on Jan. 19 the launch of its newest agricultural program to teach new and beginning farmers the skills to begin their own successful, small-scale farm businesses. The hands-on crop production practicum and farm business training course will take place at CWCâs Alpine Science Institute and will start on April 5.
Focusing on regenerative and high elevation farming practices, students will engage in learning through a six month, hands-on training where students will complete the program with a farm business plan to be ready to start their own farm.
CWC is uniquely positioned to bring more producers into the food system through this new and innovative program. Small-scale farming is an important component of a thriving local food economy and this training is for people who enjoy backyard gardening to more traditional farming, who are looking to diversify their revenue streams.
