Apprenticing

There is a wide scope of the different kinds of Canadian farms available to our apprentices. You could choose to work with farmers producing nutritious food for a market garden operation. Discover the enormous potential of growing healthy vegetables in raised beds, using natural fertilizers, and biological pest control. Learn the basics of animal husbandry while apprenticing on a small dairy farm or on the expanse of a large cattle ranch. Experience first hand the advantages that can be gained by working with draft horses or developing the knowledge and skills necessary to properly care for fruit trees. The opportunities are endless.  

Apprenticeships are available to anyone over 18 years old who is healthy, self motivated and eager to learn. A time commitment of eight weeks is expected and a full growing season is preferred. Most apprenticeships involve labor in exchange for room, board and the opportunity to learn, although some farms provide a wage or small allowance.
