About This Course

Welcome to Farmhand Academy for the Greenery! This is the first step in your journey to becoming an independent hydroponic farmer. Here, you will learn about the intricacies of the equipment in the Greenery, the grow cycle of plants in your farm, farm maintenance, how to troubleshoot issues as they arise, and so much more.

This course is available by invite only. To receive an invite, please email training@freightfarms.com and say you'd like to register!

Farmhand Academy is meant to be an introduction to your learning, not a one-stop shop. If you find that there are questions you have that are not answered in Academy, feel free to peruse the Freight Farms Knowledge Base, interact with other farmers on Farmhand Community, or reach out to our team to help resolve them. If you have thoughts on how to make Academy even better, please don't hesitate to reach out to our course staff!

Requirements

A curious mind and a can-do attitude!

Course Staff

Alissa K.

Hi, my name is Alissa and I wrote this course! I’m the Training Manager at Freight Farms, meaning that I manage the Academy courses as well as all of our Certified Farmer Training Programs (like Farm Camp). As you dive into this course, you’ll see me pop up all over the place. We’ve put a lot of work into filming instructional videos to enhance our farmers’ learning experience, and for the most part, those videos include me… so we’ll get to know each other real fast.

I’m always looking for feedback, so feel free to send an email my way if you have any thoughts on the course you’d like to share. Ex: topics we could do a better job explaining, topics you wished we’d covered, or maybe an idea for a whole new course entirely.

I’m excited for you to get growing in Farmhand Academy – so, with all of that being said, happy farming!
