Apprenticeship program: Meeting to discuss and answer questions. We are offering a hands-on learning experience on our organic farm in Putnam County, Indiana. Owner Constance ferry, has been growing vegetable, herb and flower plants and produce for 24 years and will share and instruct you in the art and science of organic gardening, herb propagation, growing, harvesting and preserving.

You will be working in the greenhouse, the gardens, the shop and attend workshops. Medicine making, folklore and history will be incorporated into our work and learning experience.

In exchange, you will work in the gardens and with the plants for 20 hours each month, March thru October. We are flexible and can schedule your work hours around school, job, family, your life... but hours are mandatory. No experience is necessary, just a strong desire to learn about the plants by working with them.
