Incubator Farm Program for aspiring organic farmers
People will always need healthy food to eat. Free Mulch aims to reassign value to careers in farming. We aim to provide experiential training in organic farming, sustainable agriculture, farm business management, and environmental stewardship. In partnership with Frog Song Organics Farm, the University of Florida, Alachua County Extension Office, Farm Credit, and the Alachua Conservation Trust, Florida's First Incubator Farm Project will commence training for beginning farmers Winter 2018/19.
