Certification Program at Tres Estrellas Organic Farm and Garden
The Tres Estrellas Soil-to-Table Certification Program is designed for those interested in learning about ecological farming, farm-to-table food preparation and self-reliance. Students live, learn and work at Rancho Tres Estrellas located in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. Through a dynamic combination of in-classroom and hands-on learning experiences, students will explore how organic food is grown and how the bountiful, nutrient dense products of the farm can be used as food, medicine and more.
“The most noble profession is that of the gardener of the earth."
— Edmond Szekely, co-founder of Rancho la Puerta,
believed that the health and vitality of human beings arose from a healthy soil.
The Program
The ecological farming training will take place on our six-acre organic farm. Participants should be interested in farming on a small scale using mainly hand tools.
The Location
Tres Estrellas Organic Farm is a 35-year-old, six-acre organic production and educational farm located in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. The farm was founded by Sarah Livia Brightwood, President of Rancho la Puerta.
