Organic Seed Production - Seed Cleaning

Are you interested in a career in seed?

Apply today to join the 2021 cohort of seed enthusiasts and Organic Seed Alliance to gain the fundamentals to grow your career in seed! The Organic Seed Production Online Course is a six-month certificate program that combines hands-on, farm-based independent study with online learning. The interactive, cohort-based course is designed to supplement an on-farm organic seed production training experience. The course includes six modules over six months and is focused on the biological, technical, and economic aspects of organic seed production.

Course Highlights

  • Peer-to-peer networking and learning opportunities
  • Individualized personal and professional development mentorship
  • Seed ethics and the political landscape of seed
  • Seed as a livelihood

The online course is meant to supplement an on-farm seed production training experience and requires that enrolled students be simultaneously working or interning on a farm that grows seed or will allow the student space to grow seed. There is no tuition fee.
