Our mission centers on the protection and preservation of “the lost arts”; those traditional farming, artisanal, and craft-driven practices that produce sustainable ecosystems of soils, plants, animals, and people. The continuance and growth of lost arts benefit the local community and society in general. To carry out our mission, we develop and deliver farm education and training in a variety of forms; e.g. structured multi-year course curricula, seminars, workshops, demonstrations, and hands-on training.
