Agriculture

We prepare students to work in plant science, animal science, and the agricultural industry. Our “lab” is our Shively sustainable farm and our classes offer hands-on experiences. You will work with animals, get dirty, and drive tractors.

About Us

The Agriculture Program emphasizes disciplines related to the management of soil, water, air, plant and livestock resources. The program explores agriculture through the “Three E’s” of sustainability – environment, economics and social equity – allowing students to develop a holistic understanding of our food cycle from farm to table and beyond.

What to expect

The curriculum includes both classroom time and real world, hands-on experience in our greenhouse and on our 36-acre working farm. You will develop the technical knowledge and specialized skills needed to be a successful employee of both large and small farming operations, or an agricultural entrepreneur working on your own.

Sustainable Agriculture Farm

The College of the Redwoods' Certified Organic Farm in Shively is here to teach progressive agricultural practices in plant science, animal science, and agribusiness through hands-on learning. During lab hours, just 40 minutes from campus, students work with the sheep, goats and chickens, drive tractors, learn irrigation and pest control techniques and grow produce for farmers markets. For students who wish to spend more time on the farm or in the greenhouse, internships are available through the Cooperative Work Experience program.

Visit our CR Farm

The school year is a very busy time at the farm, with community events, field trips and family-friendly outings. If you would like to visit, please call ahead at (707) 599-1338 to schedule a day and time.
