Arcosanti Announces Five-Week Fall Farm to Table Program SEPT. 25-OCT. 31

Oct 1st – Oct 31st

Arcosanti, located in Mayer, has announced dates for its fall Farm to Table program. This five-week experience takes guests on a journey of exploration surrounding where today’s food comes from, understanding the real source and handling of food, eliminating transportation using a closed-loop food system and how to grow quality food crops with high nutritional value.

Participants will learn hands on techniques and practice the science of sustainable food production while becoming inspired to turn the fruits of their labors into memorable meals. Facilities include an array of growing styles such as greenhouse agriculture, hydroponics, raised beds, a fruit and nut orchard, field crops and a permaculture food forest.

During the program, participants will also build a community with experiences including running a store and making group meals together, the importance of respecting history and caring for its habitat and living, working and playing in a shared space.

Program begins Monday, Sept. 25 and runs through Tuesday, Oct. 31, spanning the end of the summer harvest and the beginning of fall planting. Cost is $1,750 and includes tuition, breakfast and lunch, housing, facilities and field trips. Upon graduation, students will join the more than 8,000 alumni who have built the arcology of Arcosanti.
