Horn Farm Center, in York, is now accepting applications for its 2026 Regenerative Grower Training Program, a yearlong, hands-on course designed to help participants build practical skills in small-scale, ecological food production. Beginning February 17, the program combines classroom learning with fieldwork, mentorship and guided experience through the full growing season. Students learn plant propagation, garden design, cultivation of annual and perennial crops, harvesting and post-harvest handling, all while practicing regenerative methods that restore soil health and support biodiversity.

Participants receive a weekly share of farm-fresh produce from spring through fall and benefit from a small cohort experience—only six spots are available each year. No previous gardening or farming background is required, and scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are open through January 25.
