Studying organic agriculture at Michigan State University

Michigan State University’s Student Organic Farm is a 4-season farm that was started in 1999 by a group of students (and dedicated staff) keen to put into practice the concepts they were learning (and being taught) in the classroom. The farm provides students with an opportunity to learn the principles of organic farming through completion of a certificate program and by participating in a range of community supported agricultural initiatives. This short video, accompanied by some neat toe-tapping music, gives us a look at this beautiful farm. Not surprisingly, the farm relies on volunteers to remain viable. If you’re keen to volunteer, or if you’ve been thinking about taking a course in organic agriculture, please check out their website. MSU certainly looks like a great place to study organic farming.
