Saskatchewan Apprenticeship season has kicked off

Saskatchewan Apprenticeship season has kicked off at @wolfwillowwinery! Apprentices came together over campfires, river views, and beaches to build community, reflect on their values and goal-setting, and eat delicious farm food. The crew kicked up some prairie dust, did some fire-side dancing, and introduced our international apprentices to a Saskatchewan favourite, the chicken dance. Thanks to Wolf Willow Winery for the tour of their fruit crops and agro-tourism - berry and veggie picking, corn mazes, pumpkin patch, and disc golf. We are grateful to meet another inspiring crew and look forward to all farm stories to come!⁠
