I think there are a lot of young farmers coming out of higher education
but you have to look away from land grant universities. I went to Hampshire
College a small liberal arts college with a working farm. I entered college
with plans to study art but quickly changed my academic focus to farming
from the experience of doing work study on the farm. The courses were based
on sustainable agriculture. You were also encouraged to apprentice on farms
during the summer.
There are many other non-state schools that are really getting into
sustainable agriculture education. Teaching not only sustainable growing
methods but also sustainable marketing techniques.
Post college I spent a few years creating edible gardens for restaurants
and private clients, now I've been operating my own mini farm for the last 3
years.

Young people are getting into farming they're just thinking outside of the
box
