Apprenticeship

At Earthwise we believe the best way to learn about agriculture is to do itThe farm apprenticeship at Earthwise Society is geared towards individuals that are either looking to be future farmer, want to learn more about agriculture or those that want a deeper connection to the food system.  The apprenticeship takes place throughout the growing season.  The apprentice commits to 3 or more hours a week at the farm (the equivalent of at least 100 hours per growing season).  In return Earthwise is able to offer a great learning experience and 20hrs of garden and agriculture workshops.

What You Will Be Learning
