Information For Farmers

Information for Host Farms

Through the Apprentice and Willing Worker program, NOFA Vermont facilitates connections between interested individuals and Vermont farms with work opportunities. The NOFA Vermont on-line directory is a list of farms, market gardens and processing operations seeking apprentices and willing workers. The directory serves several purposes:

As a VOF certified producer or NOFA Vermont member, you receive a free listing in the directory.

If you are interested in becoming a host farm, please contact the NOFA Vermont Office. We will discuss expectations and provide you with a host farm application.

The directory is available to individuals who have applied and registered with the NOFA Vermont Apprentice Program website. Potential workers and apprentices use the directory to find farms that closely match their desired experience and will contact the farmers directly. Each year NOFA Vermont’s Apprentice and Willing Worker Program processes up to 65 applicants.

There is no cost for applicants to participate in the program. Participation includes invitation to NOFA Vermont sponsored beginning farmer trainings and workshops, invitation to our annual Winter Conference at Vermont Technical College in Randolph, VT., and participation in a growing network of apprentices and aspiring farmers.

The workshops and trainings allow apprentices to supplement their on-farm educational experience. All apprentices, whether affiliated with NOFA Vermont’s Apprentice Program or not, are encouraged to attend.
