Our Apprenticeship is Paused Until Further Notice.

Are you a land manager or aspiring land steward dedicated to healing our relationship with the earth?

Our Agroecology Incubator Program is designed to help you embark on the next phase of your journey. We offer different pathways for those in different phases, but united in the same vision: to unite deep ecological understanding with practical skills to help us steward ecosystems in a way that heals land and community.

Holistic Apprenticeship

This is a full-time, stipend-paid, seasonal position designed for those who aspire towards a livelihood in regenerative agriculture or ecological design. Apprentices gain experience across the breadth of DAR’s work, participating in diverse regenerative farm systems, agroforestry project implementation, and research data collection. This program is accompanied by free enrollment in the Foundations of Agroecology Course, which provides a deep dive into ecological design and the theory behind DAR’s work.

Enrollment for our 2025 apprenticeship will open in late fall 2024.

Foundations of Agroecology Course

Are you ready for a deep dive into ecological design and agroecology? This course is designed for large-scale land owners and land managers looking for guidance in designing and stewarding agricultural ecosystems. This 112-hour through-the-seasons course walks participants through the entirety of the design process for a land partner site, while using established sites to provide ample theoretical background and living examples of agroecology at work.
