Complete and submit the Apprentice Inquiry Form at the bottom of this page. We’ll check to see if you meet the minimum requirements to become an apprentice. If you need additional experience to qualify, we’ll suggest ways you can obtain that experience.
Complete and submit the Apprentice Application. We’ll send this to you after you’ve completed the Apprentice Inquiry Form and we’ve confirmed that you meet the minimum requirements to become an apprentice. We’ll review your application, and if approved we’ll create an “apprentice profile” for you that we’ll share with qualified and approved host farmers.
Arrange interviews with host farmers. We’ll provide you with contact information for host farmers whose approach to farming aligns with your goals and interests. Conversely, we’ll also provide your contact information to host farmers who might be interested in working with you. Telephone, video, in-person, and on-the-job interviews are all acceptable, but must be mutually agreed upon by you and the host farmer.
Set your course. Once you connect with a host farmer you’d like to apprentice with, we’ll work with you and the host farmer to develop an apprenticeship contract and set learning objectives for your experience.
