The Berry Center Farm and Forest Institute

USA

The Berry Center Farm and Forest Institute offers farmers an education in agrarian thought and practice, supporting agriculture that is biologically based, economically viable, and rooted in place. The Institute’s “education in homecoming” uses the work of Wendell Berry and a lineage of agrarians to help people live well with and from their home places. The curriculum draws together The Berry Center’s programs to help keep farmers on the land by working with nature and neighbor. They provide affordable workshops, short-courses, and field days that accommodate busy lives in areas including grass-fed livestock production, low-impact forestry, and cooperative economics, thought, and rural leadership. The Instituteserves early career and experienced farmers, generational farm families, woodland owners, and rural community members. Learn more here: https://www.berrycenterfarmandforest.org/
