The Organic Apprentice

[Enzyme11]

These are the Web sites for a couple of operations that offer apprenticeships in organic farming:

More information about organic farming opportunities is available here:

These two organizations purportedly offer internship-type programs, but I didn't see information about them straight away when I looked:

An organic apprenticeship would make a great holiday gift for that harpy stranger masquerading as a spouse :wink:

Joel Saltin at Polyface Farm in Virginia has internships also. They last two years. Joel says the first 6 months he loses money on his interns, the second 6 months he breaks even and the last year he see some profit from their work. Joel is credited for renewing the sustainable farm model. He holds two 2-day seminars each year and both fill quickly.
