We offer worktrade opportunities for all of our classes. To be considered for worktrade please send an email to milkandhoneyherbs@gmail.com and introduce yourself. Please share a little bit about you- basically an informal cover letter and send a resume. I will be in touch and we’ll take it from there. I generally choose the worktrade position a month or two before class begins and often class is full by then, so if you have your heart set on class, I always want to let people know that applying for worktrade is risky! I only have one worktrade spot available per apprenticeship and it tends to be competitive.

For 2025 I’m specifically looking for:

-individuals who are able to provide admin/office assistant support

-individuals with carpentry and home repair skills

-individuals will animal care experience (chickens, goats, cats) for times we’re out of town

The Worktrade Agreement:

  • It’s an hour-for-hour trade i.e. a 6 hrs class (minus 1/2 lunch at class) equates to 6 hrs of trade:
    -From the Roots Up Apprenticeship Year I- 48 hrs
    -From the Roots Up Apprenticeship Year II- 54 hrs

  • In-person trade is to be completed in 6-hr increments whenever possible
    -From the Roots Up Apprenticeship Year I- 8 days of trade (6 hrs each)
    -From the Roots Up Apprenticeship Year II- 9 days of trade (6 hrs each)

  • You are required to complete all the worktrade hours for the class, regardless of the number of classes you attend

  • Hours must be completed by the last day of class

  • Worktrade may include:
    -garden help
    -house projects (painting, d.i.y. remodeling, carpentry, etc)
    -flyering
    -tech support (design, flyers, etc)

    You will not be asked to do anything outside your skill level!

    Please email me at milkandhoneyhebs@gmail.com and send a cover letter and resume to apply!
