Attend an Open House to learn more about the ProFarmer Program.
ProFarmer trainees are full-time, year-round, salaried employees of the Farm Hub and are offered the option of on-farm housing. Working under the mentorship of Jean-Paul Courtens, Director of Farmer Training, ProFarmers gain experience in a hands-on learning environment located on one of the most productive and beautiful tracts of farmland in the Hudson Valley. Our mission-aligned program emphasizes vegetable and grain production and includes:
Ecological farming practices
Mechanical and technical skills
Small business skills and leadership development
Engagement with the regional farm community
Applications for spring 2017 enrollment must be received no later than September 9, 2016.
