Five students will receive hands-on training
Glynwood Farm has recruited two livestock and three vegetable apprentices for the season as part of its Farmer Training program, which includes both hands-on training on the 225-acre farm and classroom education. On Thursday, June 9, their work will be showcased at a farm dinner in which they will be the guests of honor.
The apprentices this year are Kyle Woehrle, a Boston University graduate with a degree in marine science; Lexi Berko, who attended Delaware Valley College for Conservation and Wildlife Management and spent four years working at a certified organic vegetable farm in Pennsylvania; Ali Mitchell, a graphic designer from Los Angeles who was most recently assistant farm manager at Living Roots Ecovillage in Indiana; Charles Carrier, who is pursuing a degree in agroecology from Sterling College in Vermont; and Caitlin Keller, who has a bachelor’s degree in English from UCLA and a master’s in food systems from NYU.
