White Oak Pastures Internship/Apprenticeship Program

White Oak Pastures, a model of the highest standards of animal welfare, holistic farm management and regenerative agriculture, is now offering a Farm Internship/ Apprenticeship Program that is the most comprehensive in the country. The scale, diversity, and vertical integration of this farm makes this unique training experience possible.

A unique component of this system is the opportunity to have either a very general Freshman training, or a path to a Senior White Oak Pastures Graduate. 

The applicant will submit a completed Farm Internship/Apprentice Application. If selected, the applicant will pay a non-refundable quarterly tuition of $1500.

Conclusion of the Senior Training Session entitles the Apprentice to a White Oak Pastures Senior Apprentice Certificate, a letter of recommendation to prospective employers, and a full time job offer at White Oak Pastures

As an intern/apprentice, you will report to different supervisors during the various segments of your training. It is your job to follow the leadership of this supervisor, who will be tasked with keeping you productively occupied. It is our vision to teach you to become a self sufficient farmer, not just in one area, but with a holistic approach to agriculture, animal husbandry, and land restoration.
