Your three day class sounds great! I'd really appreciate it if you'd share an outline of the course and the lesson plans. Do you have and handouts? Although I'm not very experienced, I know a couple of farmers who are. If I could outline what they should talk about, they might be more willing to teach.
Thanks

I've been coordinating the Wisconsin School for
Beginning Market Growers since 1998. This is a
3-day, intensive workshop held in the winter and
taught primarily by 3 experienced growers. We try
to cover everything from soils through marketing,
economics, and taxes...even quality of life issues.
We get 25-35 participants each year. It is a model
that could be easily replicated elsewhere. I'd be
happy to share more details if folks are interested.
The biggest trick is to find grower-instructors who
are experienced, knolwedgeable, WILLING to SHARE,
and good speakers. I've attended (and organized)
shorter workshops and one-day beginning grower
sessions but found them hopelessly incomplete and
rushed.
Another approach is to organize farm tours. You can
learn so much by visiting existing operations.
