Job Order Detail

Description

Looking for an outdoor and meaningful job for 2023 summer? Are you passionate about food security? Want to spend time on a farm gaining skills and knowledge that match the ecological and regenerative values you hold?

Young Agrarians and our network of exceptional mentor farmers are offering hands-on farm apprenticeships in regenerative agriculture. Participants with a serious interest, curiosity, and commitment to full-time farming season are invited to apply, however, you do not need previous experience, just a keen interest to learn. Our apprenticeships are a full immersion program that puts you into the heart of running a farm business, day in and day out.

We have around 30 farms spread out around Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.

Although farm activities will be different on each farm, the core activities will involve care of soil, pasture and livestock, farm direct marketing, and using sustainable practices for cereal, grain, vegetable, and fiber production. Wages vary from farm to farm however they are usually between minimum wage - $18/hour.

These are all seasonal jobs that are between 4-8 months long. There have been many students hired in the past. Most jobs start in May and end in October, however, lots of people have also finished the farm job early and gone back to school in September.

Please find out more about the program on our website, as well as links to all the different farms available and online applications!
