HUHS Agricultural Apprenticeship Program
"My goal is to expand my small non profit sugaring hobby into a medium sized profitable sugaring operation."
Dan O'Shaughnessy, Grade 11
"I'm interested in apprenticing on a local farm because I really want to know more about farms and how they work. I'm interested in running an organic farm in the future, maybe, and this is a good opportunity to gain knowledge."
Sarah Reid, Grade 10
"I love farming because I get to be outside and work with animals and also give back to the community because without milk, meat, and vegetables, we would not be able to live the healthy lives that most people in the world are living."
Anshe Lotspeich, Grade 10
With the support of Harwood’s administration and the Next Step program, the Agricultural Apprenticeship program was created by students for students to gain real world, hands-on experience in the livelihood of farming. Students from Jean Berthiaume’s ‘Creating Sustainable Communities’ course envisioned the program to reconnect young people to farms, land, and food, and believed that this experience would provide participants the skill and inspiration to create a more sustainable world.
The Agricultural Apprenticeship
experience provides an opportunity for students to work and learn the skills necessary to operate and maintain a vegetable, dairy, livestock, and/or maple sugar farm. The program will give students an opportunity to apply their education thus far in the real world experience of our community farms. Students will gain an overall understanding of the farm, and then through collaboration with the farm mentor and apprenticeship coordinator, be expected to identify a focus for deeper understanding to culminate in a final project that benefits the farm in some way.
Students will be encouraged to apprentice on several types of farms throughout the year to gain experience and perspective into the different types and approaches to agriculture. Credit will vary based on the structure and choice of students. Credit Approval Panel (CAP) creativity can be applied. This course is pass/fail.
