City Herbal Apprenticeship Program

Applications for our 2023 Herbal Apprenticeship are open until tomorrow, May 24th!! You do not have to be a Concordia student to apply!

Our Herbal Apprenticeship Program is for anyone who wants to learn how to grow, identify, harvest, use, and apply herbs in a hands-on, collective setting. Over the course of four months (June until October), apprentices will gain experience tending to our perennial herb garden located on Concordia’s Loyola campus and learn how to produce a variety of herbal medicines made with herbs from the garden. Apprentices will also attend a series of classes given by experienced herbalists on topics such as botany & plant identification, herbalism & physiology, seed saving, and more.

If you are passionate about plants and want to deepen your knowledge of medicinal herbs, this program is for you!

Applications are open until Wednesday May 24th. For more information on the program visit our website www.cityherbalap.com

Happy Spring dear friends of City Farm School!

As many of you may know, City Farm School ceased offering the well-loved Market Gardener Apprenticeship last year. Because of this, we’ve decided to change our program’s name to the City Herbal Apprenticeship Program (CHAP) to better reflect our current offerings and structure as a whole. CHAP strives to carry on CFS’s legacy of approaching environmental and herbal education as a collective and interactive experience.

On this note, we are now accepting applications for our 2023 Herbal Apprenticeship Program! You can find more details about the application process on our new website, linked below. The application deadline is May 24th. We hope you'll join us!
