k-atm St <br />Lomax Center for Agricultural Education <br />Development Plan 2016 - 2026 <br />RCCC Class and Workshop Series <br />Starting in 2015, RCCC has helped serve the need for classes and workshops at Lomax <br />Farm. These efforts were initially aimed at providing education for Farmers -in- <br />Training, including the Organic Vegetable Production Class, a prerequisite for <br />participation in the Lomax Farmer -in- Training (FIT) program. RCCC is also exploring <br />the likelihood of developing a core curriculum of classes to be used to give increasing <br />structure and depth to the FIT program. <br />Meanwhile it has become clear that there is a demand from the general public regarding <br />instruction related to food, farming and gardening. RCCC offers continuing education <br />to students who might not become fulltime farmers but are nonetheless interested in <br />learning more about food. <br />2oi5 and 2o16 Classes include: <br />• Organic Vegetable Production <br />• REAL (Rural Entrepreneurship Through Action Learning) <br />AgEntrepreneurship Workshop Series <br />• Fall Gardening Class Series <br />• Introduction to Beekeeping <br />• Spring and Fall Mushroom Production Classes <br />• Native Plant Identification Class <br />• Seed Starting and other specialty skill classes <br />• https://www.rccc.edu/ <br />G -6 Page 178 <br />
