Glynwood seeks three apprentices for the 2024 season to be part of our Advanced Vegetable Apprenticeship Program. This 9-month Apprenticeship Program is designed for beginning farmers who plan to pursue a career in vegetable production. While working as crew on our 6 acre vegetable operation, apprentices will go beyond the basics of vegetable production and learn the skills they will need for a managerial position on a vegetable farm. 

Educational Opportunities

We believe the most effective method of teaching farming is through experiential learning out in the field. We supplement our apprentice in-field learning with other educational opportunities including:

• Participating in 60 hrs of classroom-based learning presented by experts outside of the Glynwood farm team
• Sessions lasting 1-3 hrs on 20 different key farming topics and systems delivered by Glynwood farm managers
• Weekly field walks and rotating managerial responsibilities
• Visiting many other regional farms as part of Mid-Hudson CRAFT
• Access to a robust alumni network and other organizational contacts for long-term technical and general networking assistance

Compensation

The vegetable apprentice positions are 9 months, from mid-March to mid-December. Apprentice compensation is as follows:

• $15 per hour wage 
• Private room in a 6-bedroom house shared with the other apprentices
• Educational programing averaging 5 hrs/week 
• Paid time off
• $500 in a Healthcare Reimbursement Account
• $200 workwear stipend, and $250 conference stipend
• Free Glynwood eggs and vegetables and a 40% discount on Glynwood meat and Farm Store products
