A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The Sustainable Food and Agriculture Program Manager offered "Snowed-in on a Vermont farm: Understanding Patterns in a Community Through Food" as a Winter Study course.
The residency at Green Mountain Girls Farm in Northfield, Vermont emphasized the intersection of agriculture, community, and environment. Students stayed at this small diversified farm for one week engaging in farm life, developing a sense of place, and identifying patterns evident on the farm and in the immediate community. Days structured around farm chores, interpretive tours, hands-on workshops, and guest lectures drew on pre-departure readings. The themes of these scheduled activities included permaculture design, cooking, forestry, and community development.
