      abstract = {Agricultural apprenticeships are an increasingly popular  labor relation in which apprentices provide farm labor in  exchange for training/education, a stipend, housing, and/or  food. Apprenticeships are taking place on small-scale and  medium-scale, ecologically-oriented farms typically selling  to local or regional markets.  These farms are situated  within an alternative food movement (AFM) that perpetuates  agrarian ideology idealizing farmers but ignoring  farmworkers. Given the AFM's inattention to workers, small  farms' struggling economic viability, and misconceptions  about labor justice on small farms, this research studied  how agricultural apprenticeships address social equity.  Specifically, this research examined the goals and  practices of agricultural apprenticeships in the United  States and the extent to which these apprenticeships  achieve social justice. Evaluating twenty-six agricultural  apprenticeship programs using grounded theory, this thesis  found programs' top goals to be educating about sustainable  agriculture and creating new farmers; programs less  commonly educate about social justice or aim to create new  farmworkers.},
