Learn with Sylvain Couderc like more than 500 students since 2019!
For me, these training courses are the result of more than 12 years of small-scale market gardening.
- SYLVAIN COUDERC
The techniques I share are born of my own experimentation and my perpetual quest for perfection. Being a market gardener is a demanding and holistic profession, requiring a panoply of skills. Every season is a fast-paced whirlwind, and every mistake has a price: financial, physical and emotional.
Launching your adventure on a solid foundation will help you anticipate and minimize these mistakes. What I share in the various lessons is what I wish I'd had at my fingertips during my first year in the field.
Taking part in these training courses will offer you a shortcut to success in your job as a market gardener more quickly.

Cultivate your know-how
To run a successful market gardening business and make a decent living from your work, you need to know a lot of things and have specific skills. In particular, you need to know how to set up, how to organize and how to grow successful crops.
Our training courses are like ready-made kits. They are adapted to France (with its climate, laws, sales methods and organization). They are designed for those who are already market gardeners and want to improve their results, but also for those who have a project in mind.
