farmer opportunities

The specialized knowledge and skills that farmers possess are invaluable. Having an apprenticeship program on your farm is one way that you can provide an opportunity for interested apprentices to learn from your experience while, in exchange, providing an extra set of hands on the farm. The enthusiasm that apprentices bring can also be very energizing for participating farmers, and the process of mentoring and passing along the skills of sustainable farming can be extremely rewarding.

If you are a farmer interested in having apprentices:

1. Complete and submit the farmer application (or the farm renewal form). Contact SOIL if you prefer to complete a paper application.
2. If you would like to include a photo of your farm on this website, send a photo of your farm by mail or email.
3. Send in your application fee (CAN $30) . Contact SOIL if you prefer to complete a paper application. Indicate if you would like to receive the application information of applicants who have expressed interest in your farm.
4. SOIL will put a brief description of your farm and photo if available on this web site
