Apprentices

Each year, we offer two apprenticeships on our farm, to help perpetuate the sustainable agricultural community at large.  This year, we enjoyed having CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training) come visit us.  Here, Lars Prillaman and Steffany Yamada speak about their experiences on the farm.

Honey bees are amongst our greatest allies on the farm.  They help propagate our clover, and assist in making our farm more productive in ways we can scarcely imagine.  Oh, and they also make delicious honey! Farm Day = Food!  In this case, free-range, 100% grass-fed hamburgers from our farm.
