The Small Farm Training Center

The Small Farm Training Center is a land-based educational center and hands-on working organic farm, located in the beautiful rolling foothills of New Vrindaban Dham in West Virginia. What's it all about?

It's about a quiet revolution that is stirring in our food system. It's a movement of young and old happening in small towns, inner-city neighborhoods, on college campuses, and in the suburbs.

The common bond? Wholesome organic foods grown locally and chemical free.

Interns are wanted! As a student apprentice you'll learn more than just the ABCs of organic growing. You'll also conduct tours and workshops as part of your training. By learning it-teaching it-and then applying it, you'll earn your degree in bio-citizenship.

What motivates this project? The Small Farm Training Center promotes a culture based around healthy foodstuffs, free from chemical toxins and direct from a grower who places people above profits.

The Govardhan Farm just south of Mumbai, India. run by the devotees of the ISKCON Radha-Gopinath Mandir in Chowpatty, also runs a similar biogas project on a smaller scale, providing for their cooking and electricity needs for a farm community with around 30 residents.
Here are some pics of the Govardhan Farm biogas project.




This is a great option for our ISKCON farm communities to look into, as a free renewable energy source and also as a tool for outreach to our environmentally open minded friends. Check out this Beginner's Guide to Biogas for more details.
