Apprenticeship Positions in the Farmer Training Program

We are excited to pilot the Farmer Training Program for aspiring farmers who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). The program will launch in the Spring of 2021! We are humbled to be on this journey as we craft and design a program that is accessible for a wide variety of people. Since 2021 is the first year of the program, the information listed below includes the current details of the program, but is subject to change slightly as things are still being finalized.

Through the creative efforts of our multicultural Farmer Advisory Committee, the voices and input of BIPOC people have been and continue to be centered in the process of creating this new Training Program. We hope this program begins to address some of the barriers that exist with reconnecting to the land and pursuing agriculture as a BIPOC person.

“do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here.”

- Edward Abbey, noted author and environmentalist
