November 15th is the last day to apply to Harvest Pierce County’s Farm Foundations to be considered for the 2023 cohort.
What is Farm Foundations?
Farm Foundations is a free farmer training that combines classroom and hands-on field learning. It gives participants a full season farm internship experience without a full-time commitment.
Participants will gain knowledge in
- soil science
- plant biology
- farm planning and management (which includes pest control and irrigation)
- many other farm topics
Each week participants have the opportunity to apply their knowledge through on-site farm work while building relationships amongst their cohort.
Participants also get to enjoy the crops they plant. A share of the farm's harvest will be provided to each program participant throughout the course of the season.
