2019 Dancing the Land Farm Apprentice Application
This season we're offering two Apprentice positions, both for the full season and just the warmer months (May-August). We only have one reliably heated living space for the colder months (our 1970's bus has a heater but little insulation), but lots available for the warm season. Dates are flexible but could start as soon as April 1st, and extend to November 1st.

Before filling out the application, please, please read our Job Description and Expectations Document. You can find that document at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/136R78zan9W29JFpeQmLnuUO3A8JtT10WRjle17oAm6I/edit?usp=sharing
