Professional Development

Partridge Creek Farm offers robust professional development opportunities tailored for educators and businesses. Our programs are designed to enhance skills and knowledge in sustainable food practices, community engagement, and local food systems.

By participating, we hope educators gain insights and tools to enrich their curricula, while businesses acquire strategies to integrate sustainable growing practices into their lives. These opportunities not only foster professional growth but also contribute to building a resilient, interconnected local food network.
