Are you interested in mentoring an aspiring farmer through an apprenticeship?

Young Agrarians (YA) is a farmer to farmer educational resource network for new and young ecological, organic and regenerative farmers in Canada. YA is looking for farmers who are dedicated stewards of the land: skilled and enthusiastic teachers with a passion for mentoring young and aspiring farmers, who have a farm philosophy that recognizes the connectedness of the land and people.

Host farm applications for the 2024 Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program are open! They are accepting applications for host farm mentors in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Applications close on November 24, 2023 for the 2024 season.
