The Great Lakes Incubator Farm Training program is best suited for those who are confident that farming is their chosen path. Admission is competitive, with only five students accepted each year. Participants must commit fully to the seven month program, which begins in mid-March. During this time, students work closely with our staff to prepare the soil, organize materials, optimize equipment, and finalize crop and marketing plans. As the season progresses, participants gain hands-on experience in all aspects of farming—from cultivation and planting to problem-solving, harvesting, and marketing their products.
Students will collaborate by working directly alongside the Farm Manager to run a fully functioning farm business while also engaging in classroom instruction, field demonstrations, and daily fieldwork. The program culminates in the development of an independent farm business plan, which each participant presents to their peers and the farm manager.
Must be 18 years or older
Be committed and capable of performing physically demanding work for 8+ hours/day, 5-7 days a week
Available for the full 7-month program (April -October – with up to 1 week of scheduled time off)
Regular communication with the farm manager, fellow participants, and incubator farmers
Participate in monthly check-ins throughout the growing season
Able to accept direction and constructive feedback
Financially able to cover living expenses during the program (a need-based $1,000/month living stipend or housing is available for the 2025 season)
Farming experience is recommended but not required
Becoming a successful farmer requires mastering a wide variety of skills—growing crops, mechanics, entomology, accounting, marketing, and more. GLIF's goal is to equip aspiring farmers with the essential skills they need to run thriving farm businesses. Our program is designed to keep pace with the evolving world of food and agriculture, ensuring participants gain the knowledge and experience necessary to succeed.
