An Opportunity to Support Rogue Valley from our Friends at Rogue Farm Corps!

Applications are OPEN for 2024
Rogue Farm Corps Apprenticeships!
Interested in exploring sustainable/regenerative farming and becoming part of the climate-smart agricultural movement? Earn a wage while you train with dedicated Host Farm mentors through a Rogue Farm Corps Apprenticeship! Apprentices learn and work at one of RFC’s partner Host Farms across the state of Oregon. This hands-on, real-world field training is complemented by a series of classes, farm tours, discussions, and networking events organized by Rogue Farm Corps.
Host farms provide wages and some offer housing and/or food as well. Start and end dates vary based on the host farm, but are generally spring through fall. Full-time and part-time positions are available. Host Farms and detailed information about each Apprenticeship opportunity can be found on our website.
HOW TO APPLY:
Apprenticeship applications are accepted on our website until positions are filled (usually by early-mid March), but early applications are considered first. Host Farms decide which applicants to interview and offer placements to. Applicants must be 18 years or older and have authorization to work in the U.S.
Rogue Farm Corps seeks to train an inclusive next generation of farmers and encourages applicants of all backgrounds and identities to apply. Scholarships are available with priority given to participants who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or low-income, veterans, and those who have been impacted by the carceral system.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with dedicated members of the community while learning about the invaluable farming practices that support our beautiful valley. Rogue Farm Corps is a long-standing friend of Rogue Advocates, and we are proud to help support their mission of sustainable farming in the Valley.
