This course is self-directed with instructor feedback on module assignments. There will be a fee. The audience is people who are interested in starting a vegetable farm enterprise in Piedmont North Carolina. This course is a prerequisite to participating in the Elma C Lomax farm incubator program. Our goal is for people who participate in the farm incubator program to experientially learn vegetable production and build a marketing strategy and clientele. Eventually we hope the participating farmers will leave Lomax to run their own farm.
