TRAINING OR APPRENTICESHIP The Biodynamic Farming & Gardening Association acts as a clearinghouse for individuals seeking to make contact with farms offering apprenticeship or groups offering more formalized training. The most recent apprentice opportunities are published in the Association's bi-monthly magazine. You can buy a single-copy for $3.50 or an annual subscription for $35. Training programs are frequently conducted in conjunction with adult education or research centers. Apprentice programs offer practical "hands-on" training. The following is a list of on-going programs. We recommend you contact regional BD Groups for updated activities or write programs of interest for details.
