farms with programs
This program was initiated to encourage the growth of sustainable agriculture. For this reason, SOIL is only offered to farms which emphasis organic techniques with little or no dependence on pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides.
Farms must make a commitment to provide a teaching component to the apprenticeship. They are encouraged to provide a monthly stipend or wage to the apprentice. If this is not practical, most apprentices agree to room & board and a productive learning experience in return for their labor.
