The Sustainable Growers School

Home

The Sustainable Growers School is designed to teach new and existing growers sustainable farm and land conservation practices.

Located on the campus of the University of West Georgia, SGS utilizes classroom, lab and field work as practical elements in educating its students in sustainable and organic production management and marketing practices.

Our students come from all walks of life and their desired outcome from this series varies just as much.  From retired folks with a love for large scale gardening and the fun of selling their excess produce at a farmers market to land owners and entrepreneurs wanting to put their land back into production, this series provides a practical guide to developing a sustainable operation.

Our instructors have many years of experience in commercial organic and sustainable farming.  We've used this experience to craft a program designed for your success.
