Farm Internships 2020

We are looking for two or three individuals who are interested in learning more about farming: gardening, raising animals, food preservation, basic building skills and caring for God’s creation to join our family this summer for a part-time internship (1 day a week).

Our promise to our summer interns is that you will not just be learning farm skills, you will also be joining our family. This means that you will not be weeding our garden alone. In fact, there very well may be little hands helping you each day which definitely adds to the fun of the farm. (This is good news for you because the kids don’t tend to forget when it is time to break for popsicles!) Also, we will share farm-to-table lunches, enjoying the fruits of our labor, sharing rich conversation.

Activities include:
• Caring for animals (we have chickens, goats, sheep, and pigs)
• Picking fruit and making jams
• Planting and weeding a huge garden
• Harvesting and canning vegetables
• Making farm products like goat milk soap

Every day of the year is different on a family farm. There is always work to be done, but it is often not strenuous.

Application deadline is March 18, 2020.

If you are interested in joining us this summer, please click the button for more details:
