ORCA empowers aspiring regenerative farmers through certified, hands-on apprenticeships that blend soil science, ecological restoration, and real farm experience—building skills, purpose, and community from the ground up.

Projects we are focusing on

California Certified Apprenticeship Program

New Opportunity Systems & Advancing Apprenticeship Association

ORCA strengthens regenerative farms by offering certified, hands-on training programs that empower employees to grow into skilled farm managers. By enrolling their team members as apprentices, farmers invest in on-farm capacity, ecological resilience, and a shared commitment to soil health and community well-being.

ORCA has partnered with New Opportunity Systems (NOS), which provides support services to employers, and the Advancing Apprenticeship Association, which advocates for the needs of apprentices.
