********************************************

This innovative program provides farmers from low-income and immigrant communities with land, support, and technical assistance at SCLT's Urban Edge Farm. Incubator farmers learn to grow, harvest, and market their own produce. The Incubator farmers are guided by a four year curriculum that includes organic farming methods and techniques along with business and marketing classes. Upon graduation, SCLT helps farmers relocate onto their own land and continue their for-profit businesses.
