Signature program
Learn farming by running a farm.
The One Hectare Farm gives every learner 10,000 m² to plan, plant, manage and sell from — with a mentor beside them the whole season.
What it is
A one-hectare farm divided into eight cultivated plots and a shared area for paths, a nursery, compost and water storage.
Learners choose crops for their climate and market, keep a field journal, test their soil and record every harvest. The farm is the classroom; the lessons give you the tools.
