Consider a career in agriculture as a farmer! Our nation is in need of new farmers to feed and keep people healthy, steward land and natural resources, and build stronger regional food economies. Whether you have just graduated from high school or are changing careers in mid-life, or are a veteran, consider becoming a farmer.
The Farmer Training Program is a 10-month apprenticeship program in the art, science, and business of sustainable agriculture. The program provides comprehensive training and mentorship to assist new and beginning farmers to start their own farms and prepares them for a variety of careers in agriculture and related industries.
