Michael worked at Nook & Cranny Farm as an apprentice, which helped demystify the art of farming for him–where growing food once seemed like a magic trick, now feels like a crucial and attainable piece of any household and community. He became interested in the apprenticeship after growing up on a farm and recognizing the important roles that farms play in rural communities. Michael’s appetite for learning and affinity for question-asking were beautiful to witness!
Michael has accepted a position as a crew member on an organic, no-till diversified farm in Minnesota and will be working towards his dream of owning and operating his own farm.
“People in this network truly want to share their experiences and knowledge. It is crucial to really put yourself out there early because the experiences you make in the program will snowball and determine who you will meet and the interests you will pursue for the rest of the apprenticeship.”
