Internship/Apprenticeship Description:

We seek two - four interns: to join our three-person team. Interns will assist in and learn about all facets of intensive, sustainable vegetable, herb, and flower production (varied greenhouse and field activities), involving season extension, ridge-till, no-till, and living mulch systems. We focus on building soil dynamics through use of E.M. (effective microorganisms), composting, legume cover crops, crop rotation, and companion planting. Pest and pathogen control in the garden is taught through the balance of natural living systems - crop rotation, E.M., living mulches, and companion planting. CSA marketing (newsletter and promotional materials), as well as farmers market attendance will sharpen retail and small business skills.

We view interns as critical to our expansion and can provide, in exchange, an in-depth experience of the many growing pains and joys of an intensive, small-scale gardening and farming enterprise. Farm work experience is preferred.

Employment Opportunities Available:

1. Farm Apprentice: 25 weeks, 50-60 hours per week. $850 monthly stipend and % of farmers market sales. Harvest share provided and affordable housing available. Farm work experience required.

2. Farm Internship: 10 weeks, 40 hours a week. $600 monthly stipend.
