The Wendell Berry Farming Programs Enrolling Students Again

Linda Blackford of the Lexington (KY) Herald-Leader reported on The Wendell Berry Farming Program in "‘A guiding light.’ Why Vermont students are farming in Wendell Berry’s backyard."  Blackford interviewed a number of people involved with The Wendell Berry Farming Program that is now enrolling students again "...after a two-year hiatus, precipitated by the unexpected closing in 2016 of St. Catharine College in Springfield, (KY) where the program was based. This time, however, the program’s home will stay in Henry County, even if it’s new collegiate partner is at Sterling College in Vermont."  

Blackford provides a good overview of the program and how it fits with Sterling College's mission of environmental stewardship through a work college model.  You can also read more about Sterling College of Vermont and the Work College model in previous posts on the Small College Garden:
