The Post Conference In-Depth Training Course is meant to be training for trainers. The conference is a great way to be inspired, encouraged, and exposed to Foundations for Farming and other forms of God-honoring agriculture, but there is limited opportunity for one-on-one training and mentorship. Those who attend the course following the conference will be able to get personalized, specific, and practical training catered to their situation and goals.

This course is perfect for those interested in agriculture as a productive way to serve God, provide for others, and make disciples.
-Farmers
-Church leaders/members
-Missionaries
-Gardeners
-Anyone with a passion for Jesus who has an interest in agriculture!
