APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

The US Census of Agriculture has seen a steady increase in the number of young and beginning farmers vying for land. These first-generation farmers will drive our future farm bills, agricultural practices, and food supply. 

To address these matters, in the summer of 2023, Georgia Organics launched an Apprenticeship Program to create a pipeline for new and beginning farmers while supporting a cohort of farm hosts as they increase their business capacity. 

Georgia Organics is winding down the 2024 5-month program that paired beginning farmers with farm hosts who trained apprentices in regenerative farming practices and sustainable business techniques.
