Bristol Community College in Fall River, Massachusetts is pleased to announce the beginning of its Organic Agriculture Technician (OAT) program this fall (2009). This innovative curriculum includes 2 semesters of classroom study (fall & spring) followed by 3 semesters (spring, summer, fall) of a practicum/internship on an organic farm or similar enterprise. Details are available on the college's website (www.bristolcc.edu)

That's wonderful.

Who knew that doing what many of us have been doing for decades is suddenly a college course ending with a degree.

For everyone in the northeast... we will be at the Northeastern Organic Farming Association (NOFA) annual Summer Conference August 7-9 at UMass/Amherst. Please stop by and visit in between all the great conference presentations.
