A Note On Apprenticeships

We do not accept apprenticeships on our farm because we believe that they are inherently unfair to the apprentices. We believe that a person who is willing to provide a fair day's work should receive a fair day's pay, even while they are learning. For more on this and other issues please visit our Politics page.
