Sponsored by the New England Small Farm Institute, and coordinated from their offices in Massachusetts, NEWOOF annually publishes an annotated list of farms (generally in the Northeast) seeking apprentices. The list is made available to interested workers who are responsible for contacting the farm(s) of their choice, and directly arranging for interviews. 'The spectrum of possible apprenticeship arrangements is broad. Each year, over 70 farms are listed, offering opportunities for anything from full -time, live -in arrangements to weekend commuting, in exchange for room, board, crop share, or wages. An apprenticeship may last anywhere from a week to a full year or more. Each farm is unique, and apprenticeships are flexible. Level of training, labor requirements, and extra educational and recreational opportunities are all worked'out individually between farmers and apprentices. The Farm List is published annually in mid January, with updates in February and May if needed. The deadline for Farmers is December 15 for the first publication, and requests for updates will be accepted until April 15. Apprentice requests are accepted year - round. (If you are requesting a Farm List late in the calendar year, please specify whether you would like the. current year's List or the upcoming List.) Please note that NEWOOF does not publish a national list, nor does it place international workers.
