Hello,  I’m Micah Beahan

       I am seeking an organic farming apprenticeship starting in early to mid September. I am pursuing an associates degree in Environmental Science, with an anticipated graduation date of December 2024, and my current employment is as an environmental educator in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. My primary farming experience is at a farm animal rescue in southern VT - though I would Not be willing to take up a position somewhere that animals are raised for slaughter. Additionally I have previous work experience in floral design and garden maintenance. Ideally I would be looking for a year-round position, but may also consider a seasonal one if it is a good fit. On-site housing would also be a major plus, though I do have a small dog, so it must be pet friendly. If you are interested in discussing further feel free to contact me at [email protected] :)!
