That\u2019s why he has embarked on an educational       journey to learn a multifaceted and practical way of farming. Garcia first studied       agricultural economics at Cornell and then decided he also wanted hands-on experiences to       diversify his skill set. Beginning as an intern on a 5-acre organic farm, he has continued to       expand his knowledge and educational goals to become a skilled and effective organic       farmer\u2013educator. \u201cGaining field-based organic agriculture experience through the       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dga-national.org\/\">Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship<\/a>       program and acquiring technical knowledge through the <a       href=\"https:\/\/www.swtc.edu\/academics\/programs\/agricultural\/agricultural-power-equipment-technician\">Agricultural       Power and Equipment Technician<\/a> program at Southwest Wisconsin Technical       College\u201d have helped Garcia \u201cdevelop as a well-rounded organic farmer\u201d and has       guided him \u201cin crafting a strategy for an \u2018organic working farm and training       center.\u2019\u201d Garcia\u2019s plan is to create a farming and training center for his       community\u2014a physical space to support existing organic farmers as well as to attract and       train farmers new to organic.<\/p>\n<p>During Garcia\u2019s time in the       field, he discovered another crucial component for creating a successful farm and community:       tools and machines and the skills needed to run and fix them. \u201cI felt like it was       necessary, while working on farms, to also really focus on operating machinery, mechanics,       welding; and it&#8217;s been a transformation. [With mechanical knowledge] you will be able to       understand what farm you want to set up, from small to medium to large. The equipment should       match what you&#8217;re doing to ultimately have the most efficient kind of farm.\u201d Garcia is       determined to create an organic farm that not only grows produce, livestock, and grains but       also teaches people to understand the tools and machinery to create economically viable and       healthy farms and communities.<\/p>\n<p>After Garcia completes his       apprenticeship, his goal is to start a community-focused \u201corganic working farm and       training center\u201d for growing produce and sharing agricultural knowledge. \u201cThe       impetus, for me, is community,\u201d says Garcia. \u201cBecause for me, community is the       highest standard. At the end of the day, nobody wants their water in the town polluted. The       community wants to go down to the farm that has really nice soil that isn\u2019t running off       into the street. The community wants a beautiful farm; the community wants a farm that creates       some of the best delicious vegetables. And for me, organic is completely tied to       community.\u201d By underscoring the importance of community on his farm, Garcia strives to       teach the next generation of organic farmers how to grow, process, and sell produce and       livestock, but also, importantly, how to use, fix, and adapt the tools necessary to increase       productivity and profitability on farms. Using these means, Garcia aims to serve the organic       community in a practical and constructive way. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Garcia was       awarded a Future Organic Farmers grant in 2020 and was recently awarded a second grant for       2021 to continue his career in organic agriculture. Garcia is currently an apprentice with the       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dga-national.org\/\">Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship<\/a>,       focusing on organic methods, and he is also studying at <a       href=\"https:\/\/www.swtc.edu\/\">Southwest Wisconsin Technical College<\/a> to learn       mechanics and welding. Following graduation, he plans to run his own community-based organic       farm.
