| Worden Farm hosts apprentices during the Florida winter vegetable season, from September through June. Work schedule is 5 ½ days per week. Preference is given to full-season applicants with professional interest in agriculture. Apprentices receive hands-on education in organic crop production and marketing. Training includes informal farm skill demonstrations and exposure to key components of farm management, such as organic certification protocols and farm record-keeping requirements. Tasks include planting, greenhouse management, transplant production, irrigation projects, crop maintenance, harvesting, and direct-marketing through farmers markets and the CSA farm membership program. Optional college credit for the apprenticeship is available through an educational partnership between Worden Farm and University of Florida. College credit can be earned at either undergraduate or graduate levels. All apprentices have access to the farm's sustainable agriculture reference library. To apply, please send a letter of interest and resume, with 3 references, to office@wordenfarm.com. |
