The United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) in Bismark, North Dakota, is a Tribal land grant institution, providing post-secondary education and training to benefit Tribal students from across the nation. This project will construct a customer-friendly farm stand that becomes an integrated part of UTTC’s courses and programs. Once completed, the stand will offer students hands-on experience in every aspect of running an agribusiness, from production and harvest to direct-to-consumer sales. Through this work, students will gain valuable skills in risk assessment and risk management, preparing them to sustain and grow their future agricultural ventures. Serving as both a learning lab and a public-facing hub, the farm stand will advance the college’s food sovereignty and food security initiatives, providing the community with fresh, healthy foods while connecting them to the important agricultural work and programming happening at UTTC.
