Calling all Farmers!
The Apprentice Farmer program is now accepting applications for their Farm Incubator
Have you ever wanted to start farming independently, but don’t feel like you’re quite ready to start out on your own? Then the North Farm’s Apprentice Farmer program may be for you! The Apprentice Farmer Program is a farm incubator program that aims to serve as the launching point for individuals interested in starting their own farming enterprise. This two-year, residential program provides farming entrepreneurs with the necessary tools and assistance needed to ensure a solid start to their farming career.
Land, equipment, tools, and mentorship are provided to qualified applicants so they can develop a business plan, establish accounts, build capital, and fine-tune skills. The apprentice farmers will grow alongside the talented North Farm staff and other apprentice farmers, sharing ideas, techniques, and labor.
Housing is provided for a small fee to all participants that desire to live on-site. It is strongly encouraged that participants take this opportunity to fully immerse in farm life!
More information about the program, including application, program fees, and the program handbook can be found at the North Farm Website (http://www.msunorthfarm.org/apprentice-farmer-program.html).
