About the Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program
Are you an aspiring farmer looking to gain skills and knowledge in regenerative agriculture? 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 host farmers are offering hands-on farm apprenticeships in regenerative agriculture.
Our apprenticeships are an immersion program that lets you experience the day-to-day of running a farm business with the supervision of experienced farmers. Our carefully selected family of host farms have diverse expertise and skill sets to teach you, whose farm philosophies are guided by ecological and holistic values that recognize the connectedness of the land and people.

Here are some testimonials from past apprentices:
“I’m a business student who happens to be deeply interested in agriculture. I have a strong appreciation for our food systems, and I wanted to understand a different approach to production than what I grew up with — conventional cropping systems and cattle ranching. Small-scale organic vegetable and fruit production is about as far from that as it gets, yet I found so many unexpected parallels. This experience has also contributed enormously to my professional development. Because the farm I worked on was quite small, I was exposed to every part of the operation — from sales and horticultural practices to adaptive problem-solving and creative planning. That hands-on learning gave me a depth of understanding that books, podcasts, and videos simply can’t match.”
“Participating in the Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program has opened a lot of doors for me, some of them I didn’t think existed. Spending the summer months weeding, harvesting, washing and processing culinary, medicinal and tea herbs, I feel like I have come many steps closer to finding my farming identity, to figuring out what I am able and willing to do. Most of all I have been taught many valuable lessons in life and a more respectful approach to working the land. Young Agrarians has both set the frame of regenerative agriculture, and shown me how to freely move within it; how to pursue the farming endeavors of my dreams, and treat the land with the respect it deserves.”
