Grow Your Own CSA Online Training Course: October to December 2024
Online
1st October 2024
12x 90-minute online training sessions with guest speakers spaced over 12 weeks.
The course will start in October 2024.
Community Supported Agriculture is a profitable, sociable, and sustainable way to link land and community. We would like to see CSA projects thrive across the UK.
...
The course runs from October to December, so growers who have finished the main season can complete this training in time to set up a CSA the following season! You may also want to take the course to help decide if CSA suits you.
Each online session topic will last 90 minutes. There will be 12 sessions in total, running on Tuesdays between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
The sessions allow us to explore a subject more in-depth or invite guest speakers with particular expertise. They are also an opportunity for students to share ideas & raise questions.
Before each session, we will send you a list of study resources, including web pages, short films, and documents. We will also give you an assignment to complete in each session. These assignments will form the basis of our discussion when we meet.
Whilst the online session will be 90 minutes, we suggest you give 2 to 4 hours of additional study time and upwards per week to work on your CSA plans as we guide you through the session topics. The more time you put in, the more you will get out.
This course will ideally be supplemented by you receiving mentoring from various organisations. We will try to help you find this extra support.
Working from our own experiences, we will give you an overview of the main issues you should consider when setting up and successfully running your CSA.
Full price: £360. The discounted price to CSA Members is £335. (Members, please email csanetworkcomms@gmail.com for a discount code)
