About Farmhand Academy

At Farmhand Academy, we harness the legendary resourcefulness and tenacity of South African farmworkers and pair it with the exacting standards of U.S. agriculture. Our programs take that “grit”–the drive to work hard, adapt on the fly, and solve problems under pressure–and channel it through hands‑on instruction in irrigation servicing, structural maintenance, welding, and precision spraying. By training to U.S. regulatory and safety benchmarks, we ensure every graduate leaves not only with a certificate but with the confidence, experience, and professional discipline to thrive on American farms from day one.

Our Mission

Farmhand Academy exists to equip South African trainees with the hands‑on know‑how, safety expertise, and specialized farm‑maintenance skills that U.S. employers demand.

Our Vision

To be the premier gateway for international farm labor, setting the standard for practical training and professional excellence.
