2014 NOFA-NH Journeyperson Program Now Accepting Applications!
NOFA-NH’s Journeyperson Program provides production farmers in their first few years of independent farming with the kind of hands-on support, training, and community connection that only comes with experience. Journeyperson applicants are beginning farmers who have previous on-farm experience/apprenticeship and training, and are serious about pursuing a career in organic farming in NH.
This is an intensive mentorship model, and Journeyperson mentors are paid an annual stipend for their time and one-year commitment. Journeypersons are offered education and business planning stipends, and are enrolled in the program for two years.
Application deadline: January 15, 2014
