About the Farm
Background
The farm has established a reputation for providing valuable agricultural experience through its internship and employment programs. Known for its commitment to education and community involvement, the farm has become a sought-after place for those looking to immerse themselves in the world of small-scale agriculture.
Practices
Interns and employees engage in a variety of tasks including planting, weeding, seeding, watering, fertilizing, mowing, trellising, thinning, harvesting, pest control, and caring for farm animals. The farm emphasizes the importance of physical labor and the ability to work in all weather conditions.
The Rest
Internships require a minimum commitment of two months with workdays on Mondays or Thursdays, while part-time employment offers flexible scheduling with a preference for those who can commit through the end of the season. Compensation includes a financial stipend, weekly supply of vegetables, and a monthly gas stipend for interns. Both roles require reliable transportation and a strong work ethic.
