Butcher Apprenticeship application

To be considered for the Butcher Apprenticeship Program, please complete the following application. At the bottom, you may save your application in order to work on it over multiple sessions before submitting.

When selecting apprenticeship dates on the application, you'll indicate which group(s) you would like to be considered for. Within each group, there are 2 or 3 different sessions with unique start and end dates (see the main Apprenticeship page for all dates). If you are selected for an interview, we will ask you more about your preferred session(s) within a given group.

Please email our Farm Education Director, Niccolò Merighi, if you have any questions about this program.

We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply for this opportunity. We commit to ensure that all individuals are treated equitably, to recognize the value of a diverse apprenticeship group, and to welcome the unique perspective and life experience that each apprentice brings to the program.
