New Entry works in partnership with commercial farms and organizations coordinating apprenticeships and other on farm learning opportunities across the country to build an active learning network for Ag Apprenticeships.
This network is designed to disseminate educational resources through websites, broad outreach, webinars, a technical assistance referral network, posting to listservs/social media, sharing through the BFRDP clearinghouse and diverse beginning farmer service provider networks.
Our physical library at our offices in Beverly, MA contains books, CD's, DVD's periodicals, pamphlets, and videos in English, Spanish, Hmong, and Khmer.
If you have a resource you would like include here, contact nesfp@tufts.edu.
The development of a registered Apprenticeship is based on a DACUM (or Developing a Curriculum), a formal process for defining skills and knowledge needed to be considered competent for a skilled occupation.
The Emotional Intelligence Exercises prepared by Positive Psychology provide worksheets and space for folks to improve their emotional intelligence. These exercises include increasing emotional awareness, and critically analyzing beliefs behind emotions.

Join our webinar to ask your employment law questions to a leading expert in Massachusetts.
