Join us on for an entire season of learning hands-on sustainable living skills!

True Nature Farm’s Apprenticeship is a unique program designed to create a hands-on wholistic experience of sustainable living, weaving together primitive, traditional and modern skills.

Participants spend 6 months camping on the land, living close to the elements, immersed in the natural world and working closely with it.
