Rogue Farm Corps

Rogue Farm Corps (RFC) trains and equips the next generation of farmers and ranchers through hands on educational programs and the preservation of farmland. We work to support our local agricultural economy and serve as a model for other communities.

RFC offers farm training programs for both beginning interns and advanced apprentices of agriculture that combine rigorous hands on training, classroom learning, and farm based independent study. RFC’s programs provide real world experience on a diverse network of family farms that host program participants. Our Farm Preservation Program helps beginning farmers access land and capital, and creates tools and resources to help retirement age farmers plan for succession.
