Apprentice Positions 2026
Are you self-motivated, eager to take a peek into the farming world and unsure where to start? SOIL Apprenticeships offers a connection between aspiring farmers and small farmers across Canada.
The host farms that list with SOIL, all Canadian, represent a wide variety of focus and practices. You could choose to work with farmers producing nutritious food for a market garden operation, discover the enormous potential of growing healthy vegetables in raised beds, using natural fertilizers, biological pest control and more. Perhaps you might learn the basics of animal husbandry while apprenticing on a small dairy farm or on the expanse of a large cattle ranch. Experience first-hand the advantages that can be gained by working with draft horses or developing the knowledge and skills necessary to properly care for fruit trees. The opportunities are endless.
This program was initiated to encourage the growth of sustainable agriculture. For this reason, SOIL is only offered to farms which emphasize organic techniques with little or no dependence on pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides.
A time commitment of eight weeks is usually required. A full-season commitment is usually preferred. Most apprenticeships involve labor in exchange for room, board and the opportunity to learn, although some farms provide a wage or small allowance.
Farms must make a commitment to provide a teaching component to the apprenticeship. They are encouraged to provide a monthly stipend or wage to the apprentice. If this is not practical, most apprentices agree to room & board and a productive learning experience in return for their labor.
SOIL acts as a liaison between the farmer and the apprentice. Typically, apprenticeships take place between May and September, although many farms need help all year round. We endeavour to match the apprentice with the farm according to the information given by both parties.
It is the responsibility of both parties to come to a working agreement. Both parties should discuss such topics as length of commitment, hours of work, learning outcomes expected, housing and food arrangements, holidays, sick days, insurance, and other special needs.
