Thank you for being a Host Farm for the 2026 Program!

Host Farms are the heart of this program. Your dedication to the training and growth of this year’s apprentices is truly going to grow the next generation of farmers. We are so excited to have you as a partner in this important work!

About this Online Course

This course will orient you to Young Agrarians and the Apprenticeship program. It will also provide training, tips and resources for how to be a great mentor and employer for your apprentice. We encourage you to complete the modules before your apprentice begins working but this material is available for you to reference throughout the season.

This course is about 2 hours long – each section shows the estimated time it will take to complete that portion.

Note that you can move freely between sections in the course – you do not need to complete them in order.

Sincerely, 

The YA Apprenticeship Team
