I consider Empower a good environment for gaining apprenticeships on organic farms, various planting systems, bed planting methods, vertical tower planting, community service and community living for anyone who wants an in-farm stay for a while. In addition you can use different methods for your learning, through volunteering, short internships. They have an accessible schedule, you can do the hours established by the farm managers and you will have time availability to fulfill your responsibilities whether you study or work online.

This is a great place to Learn about organic farming. I read and met the gentleman below and none of what he sez is remotely true. Religion is never pushed upon everyone as I have been there for 14 months now. Yes the woman who intern there are housed while the men live in raised platform tents. This is the first complaint I have ever heard from all the guys that spend months there... and I have met many. He was only there a week so maybe he is use to the Hilton type of accommodations. Everyone that interns there and works there doesn’t get paid. They get food and lodging for a great learning and rewarding experience. This is so the farm can give the food free once a month to area residents in need. It’s a labor of love and reward to those that work there. I have for 14 months. Roger Mulley

Empower school and farm was a great experience! I lived and worked there for 2 months and everyone there was kind and alway ready to help others learn. The farm does a great job of not only feeding the community by providing produce for the local food bank but also teaching the community about organic micro intensive farming wherever they are in their gardening journey. I learned so much from my time there and recommended it to anyone who wants to get involved in organic growing or involved in their community!

I love this place. The leadership is great and the products are raised with care. Also, I was able to work remotely full time while volunteering at the farm! They were very flexible about my work schedule. I would recommend this place to anyone who is hungry for practical knowledge about growing organic food.

This is supposed to be a WWOOFER farm. c Check out WWOOFER.org to understand what that is. This is a Christian based farm. Yes, most everyone here is Christian and yes they require you to listen to this once a week. I am a true agnostic, so although I have nothing against Christians I have an issue with having beliefs pushed on me. Thus this is not your typical hippie, good vibes go with the flow sort of farm or organization. There is a dispassionate treatment of men and woman here. Men sleep in large tents with a laughabe AC system, have a washer yet no dryer, and can not get indoors past 5pm. Like really... this is Florida. The owner breaks the law by keeping a dog outside 24/7 but naw, that is all good because he is a pastor. He also has no comprehension of others humanly rights or the fact that breaking an agreement will have some sort of cause and effect that will probably not be acceptable in his eyes. This I noted as I got off work and I had beds flipped over, and my things rifled through during some sort of tent inspection. This sounds awfully like something correctional officers do in jail to prisoners. I'm 32, don't do drugs nor do I even drink im not a child nor an inmate... I do feel a sort of Angelisum here. Like they want to convert you to their ways of life instead of actual cherishing people for who they are. Needless to say I've been around Jewish groups that have made me feel more comfortable than the upper hierarchy here. Still with all the religion stuff the location is very beautiful however it its very close to a main road so if you are a guy you will hear traffic. Woman have it made by having a fully operational house.
