Ecological Farm Paid Apprenticeships

Our apprenticeships are a full immersion program that puts you into the heart of running a farm business, day in and day out. Choose from over 30 different regenerative farms in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Our carefully selected family of farm mentors have diverse expertise and skill sets — their farm philosophy is guided by a holistic framework that recognizes the connectedness of the land and people. Although farm activities will be different on each farm, the core activities will involve care of soil, pasture and livestock, farm direct marketing, and using sustainable practices for cereal, grain, and vegetable production. As part of the program, you will also visit other farms that are hosting apprenticeships. This gives you the opportunity to learn from other ecological farmers and make connections with other apprentices in the program.
