Prior gardening and farming experience is helpful but not necessary. 
However, a strong desire to learn and keen interest in hands-on gardening 
and farming is essential. The Apprenticeship will involve all aspects of 
organic production including propagation and greenhouse work, watering, bed 
prep, composting, transplanting and sowing, weeding, harvesting and seed 
saving and processing, including related functions in the care and 
maintenance of our small livestock free-range chickens and tilapia 
aquaculture. Physical stamina is necessary.
