Started as a one-time event in 1992, the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market’s popularity led to the opening of a year-round market in May 1993.
Question by deeptruth246: Colleges for sustainable agriculture?
I’m looking for a college that has a good sustainable agriculture program or some program similar to that. Preferably it would be located somewhere in Northeastern U.S. Does anyone have suggestions? THANKS!

Land grant institutes are your best options if you desire to work with professors with serious backgrounds in this subject. Investigate the plant/crop science or agronomy departments.
Iowa State or Penn State would be your best choices, neither of which are in the NE USA.
Cornell once was a dominant force in US Land grant institutes and has several high quality people in this area. The other land grant colleges in that region are facing serious short falls in support, and consequently, funding. However, UVermont and UMaine would be the next two I would recommend.
