EcoFarm and Food Foresting Program
Summer 2026
The Antioch College EcoFarm & Food Foresting Program fosters regenerative farming practices that restore soil health, support biodiversity, and strengthen local economies. Through weekend institutes, participants will learn sustainable solutions from a variety of ecological farming traditions that support regenerative agrarian systems and align with Antioch’s commitment to social and environmental justice. Participants will not just learn about ethical practices—they will co-create resilient, regenerative systems on our campus and in their communities. Our ultimate goal is to prepare a new generation to design climate-resilient agrarian enterprises that restore ecosystems, address food insecurity, and harmonize with Ohio’s natural cycles.
