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.
