Are looking to gain farming skills and knowledge that match the ecological values you hold? Young Agrarians and our network of exceptional mentor farmers in Manitoba are now offering hands-on apprenticeships in regenerative agriculture. Participants with a serious interest, curiosity and commitment to full-time farming are invited to apply.
