Organic farming apprenticeship opportunity

A trio of community focused, fun loving organic farms in Nova Scotia are
looking for one or two apprentices. We are looking for people who are able
to commit to a seed to seed growing season. This would be from about May
15 until September 15, the dates are flexible. The three neighbouring
farms each offer a variety of learning opportunities in sustainable
living. 

If you are interested in learning more about market gardening,
co-operative living, poultry management, and off-grid living while
spending your time working in a beautiful rural setting you should
consider applying for this position. The farms are close to tidal rivers
and are situated in an area of rolling hills of fields and trees. 

Apprentices will be expected to work 38 hours per week, be self motivated,
willing to work at a variety of tasks, work unusual hours, in varying
weather conditions when necessary, and be prepared for manual labour.
Apprentices will receive room and board and a small stipend, in addition
to training and information about ecological farming. 

To apply, send a resume and cover letter explaining why you are applying
for the apprentice position to:

Red Fox Farm, 178 Red Bank Rd., Centre Burlington, B0N 1E0

All applications must be received by April 1. Applicants will be
informed by April 14 whether or not they have the position.

For more information, send a S.A.S.E. to Red Fox Farm.
