Ecological Farm Paid Apprenticeship

Are you an aspiring farmer looking to gain skills and knowledge that match the ecological and regenerative values you hold? Are you feeling the farming bug, but not quite ready to take the plunge and launch your own business? Young Agrarians and our network of exceptional mentor farmers are offering hands-on farm apprenticeships in regenerative agriculture.

Young Agrarians is a non-profit dedicated to supporting the next generation of farmers. We focus on food security, land access, and building ecological farm skills to have more people on the land and have people prepared and adaptable for climate change. During the apprenticeship program, apprentices will work closely with their mentors, as well as, tour other farms and connect with all the other apprentices in the program within their province and across the prairies.

Our apprenticeships are a full immersion program that puts you into the heart of running a farm business, day in and day out. Our carefully selected 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, vegetable, and fiber production. Locations across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Wages vary from farm to farm and will be discussed during interviews.
