About the Program: 

 The Farm at Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School is a special project of Effie Kokrine FFA. Students participate in a summer "Introduction to Sustainable Agriculture" class and grow a one-acre vegetable garden, selling the vegetables at farmer's market. During the school year, FFA students take classes like Fiber Arts and raise angora rabbits for fiber. In the future, we hope to expand to raise livestock such as chickens and goats and have a full-time vocational agriculture program.
