Course Overview
Specialty crop farming focuses on fruits, vegetables, herbs, tree nuts, nursery crops, and flowers — products that generate higher revenue per acre than most commodity crops. This module helps you identify and plan for high-value niche crops.
You'll study crop planning, season extension, market pricing, quality standards, food safety, harvesting windows, and direct-to-consumer sales strategies tailored to small-acreage farmers.
The use case walks you through launching a culinary herbs and cut flowers enterprise — selecting crops, building a weekly planting schedule, calculating yields, and identifying customers including restaurants, florists, and local markets.
