Our Mission

 

Farmers John and Aimee Good believe that the future of sustainable agriculture is dependent on education and the exchange of information, and most importantly, the training of future farmers. After all, farmers John and Aimee got their own start as apprentices at organic vegetable CSA farms. With over 20 years of experience, John and Aimee are committed to training apprentices in all aspects of vegetable production and marketing, as well as business management. Many former apprentices are now running successful farms of their own or have a career in the sustainable agriculture community.
