Vajra Farm, LLC - Kaw PermacultureTM is requesting apprenticeship and intern applications for the Spring of 2014.
Vajra Farm Permaculture center is a 45 acre botanical sanctuary and permaculture training site located 17 minutes north of Lawrence, KS. We have been providing apprenticeship opportunities since 2000.
We are seeking individuals who are looking for hands-on experience in broad-acre permaculture and restoration agriculture, including focus on no-till polyculture vegetable production, creation of plant guilds, forest gardens, viticulture and cultivation of medicinal herbs. Applicants should have a basic knowledge of permaculture principles and want to expand their knowledge and skill levels. Kaw PermacultureTM, the educational arm of Vajra Farm Permaculture Center, offers classroom training toward a Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) through the Kansas Permaculture Institute. On-site apprenticeship training can be used toward fulfilling requirements for this certification.
The apprenticeship is a work-training agreement with a 3 month commitment of 6 – 10 hours a week. Training will be provided by Steve Moring, and other KPI PDC graduates. Steve is certified Permaculture Design Teacher and Consultant. For more information see World Wide Permaculture Network.
Please contact me for further questions.
Sincerely,
Steve Moring, Director
