Market Garden Training

Are you ready to take your vegetable gardening to the next level while contributing to our local food system and helping to support yourself and your family? By the end of our free, six-part Market Garden Training (MGT) program, you’ll be able to take business principles and apply them in a small-scale, for-profit agriculture setting to do just that. MGT is also excellent preparation for further training courses.

Your Instructor

Your lead instructor for MGT is Kymisha Montgomery, the CGC’s Urban Agriculture Coordinator and a former market gardener. You can meet her in FRESH, a short docu-film by Ingrid Woode:
