The 2012 Market Gardener Training Program will educate interested
Youngstown residents in the agricultural and business aspects of
sustainable market gardening. The course will run every Saturday for
10 weeks, from early March until the beginning of May. Each class will
present practical agriculture techniques and small business
development topics. Several field trips to visit farmers and farmers
markets will be provided, along with hands-on workshops at Iron Roots
Urban Farm, books, and supplies. Participants who complete the 10-week
training program will receive assistance in finding further
agricultural opportunities. There is no cost for the course, but space
will be limited to 25 participants. This program is meant to provide
participants with the practical skills and knowledge needed to start
agricultural enterprises in the City of Youngstown
