Employment on the College Farm
The Farm also offers post-graduate positions including four Apprentice positions.
Student Farmers
Dickinson students can apply to work at the farm during the academic year and over the summer. Student farmers are encouraged to follow their interests and manifest their ideas, whether they are related directly to agriculture, food, or even biology, art, business or physics. The best way to make your student farmer application stand out is to spend some time volunteering on the Farm!
Student farmers employed at the College Farm during the academic year are required to work a minimum of 6 hours per week from Monday through Saturday at a competitive pay rate. The work is fun, outdoors and physically engaging; from herding sheep and planting seedlings to working on construction projects and harvesting crops. The College Farm seeks good-natured students who are ready for hard work, interested in gaining hands-on experience and willing to try to new things!

Post-Graduate Positions
The Apprenticeship Program offers four recent graduates full-time employment on the College Farm with the aim of training students for leadership positions in any field. Apprentices live and work on the farm to learn leadership, management, and teamwork skills through hands-on work in sustainable farming. One Apprentice each year is selected for the Second-Year Apprenticeship and returns for a full year of work on the Farm in a leaership role.
