Become a student:  There are a couple of options to choose from.

Full Time Student

A full time student will be living and working on the farm from March 18 – October 16. We strongly encourage each student to consider becoming a full time student as this will give you a more complete understanding of the farm and your own spiritual walk.

Part Time Student

A part time student will attend only for the first 3 months, March 19 – June 30.

Returning Student

A returning student is the same as a full time student except that they would be on the farm one week prior to First Season students, March 11th  – October 16th.

Age: All students should be 18-25 years of age, a high school graduate, and in good health.
