--------------- Please Post to BD-Now ---------------------------- It's that time of year again, time for Farmers and Interns to make connections and plan for the upcoming growing season.
I am pleased to announce that the Year 2002 edition of "Sustainable Farming Internships and Apprenticeships" resource list from NCAT's ATTRA program is now available in both print and electronic formats. Sustainable Farming Internships and Apprenticeships http://www.attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/PDF/intern.pdf [PDF] This is the PDF version. It is 120 pages long, at 17,444 K, so it will take a while to download on a modem. Please feel free to call and order a print copy at 800-346-9140. The HTML version will be available at a later date (i.e., February). http://www.attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/intern.html [HTML] The 2002 edition contains over 270 entries describing farms, educational training centers, and organizations offering internships and apprenticeships in organic farming and sustainable agriculture. In addition, the Internships List provides a fascinating glimpse into farm life and characteristics of small farm agriculture in the United States, because the descriptive entries were written by the farmers themselves. We have farmers reporting from Alaska to Virginia that, year-after-year, the interns who come to work and live on their farms learn about these on-the-job training opportunities through the ATTRA Internships List. Sustainable Farming Internships and Apprenticeships is compiled by Katherine Adam, NCAT Agricultural Specialist.
