Welcome Spring!

Farmers are busy in the greenhouse and preparing fields. Students are finishing exams and beginning job searches–there's no better time to look towards organic farming for summer work, or for a career.

Demand for organics is skyrocketing and organic farming offers the opportunity for a job that is physical (no cubicals), as well as creative. And yes, you can make money farming too!

Working or apprenticing on a farm is the best form of education for aspiring farmers, and now's the time to apply for the spring/summer 2008 season. Take a look at all the great options in Atlantic Canada:

Organic Council of Nova Scotia, Coordinator (NS)

Organic honey and maple assistant in Cape Breton (NS)

Compost technician (NB)

Mixed farm assistant with heritage breeds (NS)

Permaculture/Bio-dynamtic farm managers (NS)

Organic cow/calf operation assistant (NB)

Organic farm apprenticeships (various locations)
