Farmer Apprentice Program
An Entrepreneurial Approach to Small Scale Farming-
Partnership of the University of Vermont and the Intervale Center

The University of Vermont is excited to announce the inaugural year of its
Farmer Apprentice Program. The Program is a 7-month long educational
training program for aspiring farmers. It is designed to teach the necessary
skills in production, management, marketing and entrepreneurship. This will
be accomplished by working alongside current Vermont farmers, management of a
sustainable small-scale vegetable operation, and relevant classroom
instruction and field trips.

Aspiring farmers should attend:

* Who are looking for a career in sustainable farming or interest in
organic practices
* Who want to create sustainable food systems
* Who value a comprehensive education in all aspects of the business of
farming, including selling and distribution
* Who want a hands-on “on the farm” experience
* Who are changing careers to a more environmentally connected profession
* Who want to live and learn in Vermont about small-scale, diversified
farming
