(Savanna Institute) On-farm agroforestry training — In order to change the agricultural system in the Midwest, we need to train a new generation of agroforestry farmers.The Savanna Institute Apprenticeship Program is the only of its kind–providing experience and technical education for aspiring agroforestry farmers through on-farm training with a mentor farmer as well as community-building opportunities for farmers, apprentices, and those interested in agroforestry. We strive to support all participants to ensure program accessibility and support to historically marginalized and low income groups through diversity, equity, and inclusion training to mentor farmers and through paid apprentice employment. Because training days are open to the public, apprentices also begin to become acquainted with the network of farmers and businesses that will become a crucial support for their work when they begin farming on their own.

Application review begins January 15, 2023 and will continue on a rolling basis until positions are filled, so apply ASAP if interested. READ MORE
