Young, wannabe organic farmers have one more week to enter a local contest which will award one of them $1,000 and plenty of advice on how to achieve their goal.
The "So You Want To Be an Organic Farmer Contest" is organized by the Organic Food Council of Manitoba’s Manitoba Farm Mentorship Program.
Entrants, who must be between the ages of 18 and 25 years, must explain in 500 words or less why they want to be an organic farmer and how $1,000 could help them achieve their goal.
Entries must be submitted by e-mail to manitobafarmmentorship@gmail.com by midnight June 13. The winners — there are two second-place prizes as well — will be notified by June 20, and honored during Organic Week in October.
