Residential Organic Farm Apprenticeship/ Zen Practice & Community Development

Twining Vines provides a unique integrated experience for students to investigate the interplay between organic farming/gardening with inner development, spiritual practice and community building. The program offers a 26 week residential apprenticeship, a 12 week part time summer internship alongside volunteer opportunities.

Horton Road Organic farm is five acre organic market garden located in the coast range of Oregon. Students learn the practical skills involved in growing healthy food for the local community in a way that cares for the earth and one another while keeping pace with a true working farm’s expectations of timeliness and efficiency. Participants are guided through every aspect of a working farm developing proficiency and understanding that lends itself to a number of future engagements including launching a small scale farm or community garden project, employment in the field, teaching and working for non-profits advocating for sustainable agriculture, public health and food justice.
