CRAFT Ottawa
Welcome to CRAFT Ottawa. We are a group of ecological farms looking to build the next generation of food producers. We believe in a sustainable, local food system, and internships on our farms are an important aspect of that. If you have been thinking becoming a sustainable food producer, then CRAFT is one of the best ways to learn. CRAFT interns have a complete immersion in a working farm, with producers who respect their contribution and are willing to share their wisdom and knowledge.
The Ottawa region offers a great community, excellent learning opportunities, and access to vibrant, exciting cities on both sides of the Ontario/Quebec border.
