(Market Farming)

JCCC's sustainable agriculture (market farming) entrepreneurship program helps students realize their dreams of opening their own sustainable agriculture businesses. Farmers who grow produce on the side, depending on crops like wheat or soybeans for the bulk of their livelihood, can learn how to develop a sustainable business based upon market farming products. Upon completion of this program, students should be prepared to develop, grow and sustain their own business ventures.

This program is a partnership among Kansas State University, JCCC's hospitality management and horticulture and entrepreneurship programs. Three semester-long practicum courses require the student to work at K-State's Horticulture Research and Extension Center in Olathe.
