Biodynamic Farm Apprenticeships in Washington at Sunfield Biodynamic Farm and Waldorf School

Sunfield Biodynamic Farm and Waldorf School, Port Hadlock WA, is currently taking apprenticeship applications for the 2019 growing season!

Timeline: April – November (some flexibility)

Meals: Apprentices have free access to the fruits and vegetables, and we generally make communal lunches during the work week.

Skills Desired: Gardening experience is helpful, but farming experience is not required. We only require a desire to learn and work hard. Enthusiasm is greatly appreciated. Applicants must be physically able and healthy.

Biodynamic Farm Apprenticeships in Washington Details: Apprentices will be involved in all aspects of the farm. This includes propagation of vegetable starts, transplanting, weeding, and harvesting vegetable crops. Planting and tending orchards, hedgerows, cane fruits and strawberries is also a part of the learning experience. Animal husbandry is also a major aspect of the apprenticeship, which includes managing cattle, goats, sheep, and chickens. Alongside these farm responsibilities, we also host educational programs and community festivals on our land. For more details, look at our website.

Educational Opportunities: Education is a primary focus at Sunfield Farm, and we are committed to providing a holistic balance of education and work experience for all apprentices. Once a week we will have “class time” to explore Biodynamic theory, soil science, biological mimicry, local farm field trips, etc.. Please come with an openness to Biodynamic Agriculture.

Housing: Provided.
