ECO City Farms offers a variety of training opportunities throughout the year to learn about urban agriculture.
Our urban farming classes are offered in partnership with Prince George’s Community College, and offer credits.
Classes are usually hands-on, with a mix of lecture and discussion. Although we are mostly working to re-skill our local community in these critical food production skills, we also host classes to discuss significant themes in urban agriculture.
