TEACHING

FUTURE FARMERS
  1. Home
  2.  » Teaching Future Farmers

As an education center, our mission to educate farmers is two-fold: we pride ourselves in our comprehensive farmer training programs and also strive to be a farming resource for current growers in our region and beyond.

FARMER TRAINING PROGRAMS

We have a 12-week summer farm internship for those just beginning their journey into agriculture, and our more intensive 20-month apprenticeship geared towards those who are pursuing a career in farming and agriculture, teaching them a set of skills that will allow them to competently and sustainably manage or own an organic vegetable farm. Through both educational programs, those who work with us gain real hands-on experience on a 13-acre diversified vegetable farm. Overall, Pennypack motivates everyone who works with us to actively problem solve and contribute ideas, build confidence, and explore their passions.

Summer Internship

A 12-week paid summer internship designed for those interested in participating in farming for the first time.

Apprenticeship Program

A 20-month comprehensive apprenticeship program designed for those interested in going into agriculture as a profession, gaining skills to go on to own or manage a diversified vegetable farm.

A RESOURCE FOR OTHER GROWERS

It is also our goal to be a resource for other farmers, both in our region and beyond. We are dedicated to sharing our experiences, insights, tips, tricks, and advice to help other growers. The pace of learning on one’s own farm can be slow; we only get one chance to grow tomatoes every year. As farmers, we hope to expedite this learning process by sharing with others all we’ve experienced, especially if we have had success with it!
