Description
The growing self-reliant farmers in alaskan villages and beyond project builds on the success of immersive, farm-based farmer training programs held at calypso farm and ecology center (calypso) in fairbanks, alaska since 2013. This current project focuses on supporting the existing farmer training programs at calypso farm and expanding the farmer training opportunities to include a new program centered on alaska native farmers from rural communities. The program for alaska native farmers will be designed, taught and led by alaska native farmers. The over-arching goal of the project is to meet the educational needs of a diverse population of first generation aspiring farmers interested in small-scale diversified farming operations by offering a variety of structured training programs that teach a broad array of hands-on educational topics covering: in depth farming practices, extensive farm business planning and practical skills such as construction, chain saw use, food preservation, and much more. Extensive input from beginning farmers has and will continue to shape the program curriculum, design and teaching methods. Partners working with calypso on this collaborative project include: igiugig tribal village, tyonek tribal conservation district, kawerak, INC., on the land media collective and the folk school fairbanks.
