The Virgin Islands Sustainable Farm Institute is seeking a self-motivated intern to learn about and help with the livestock program. Our focus here is on education of food production and food-related issues. We sit on 200 acres in the St. Croix rain forest.

A successful animal husbandry intern will learn about all aspects of livestock production. At the moment we are raising sheep, donkeys, rabbits, and laying hens. We will soon be adding cattle, dairy goats, broiler chickens, and tilapia. Permaculture principles are incorporated in every aspect of our work and lives here. We use no chemical antibiotics, vaccines, dewormers, or hormones. Instead we focus on the power of natural herbs and natural rearing systems to help our animals thrive.

As an intern here, you would work closely with our animal husbandry manager, but also be expected to work productively on your own. As a fairly new farm (7 years old), there is plenty of opportunity for creativity and development of new systems and educational programs. Specific responsibilities will include daily chores (including weekends), monitoring animal and pasture health, slaughter, farm maintenance, fencing, and construction tasks. In addition, there will be communal responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking, etc.

You are welcome to stay in a tent on the farm, and there is potential for housing. The food here is mostly from the farm, and it is amazing. There is an ample supply of delicious tropical fruits. We just ask for $160/month to cover the cost of staples. There is some opportunity for paid work at our Slow Down Dinners as wait staff, dishwasher, or prep cook. Living here is quite simple. We are off-grid, but have internet and phone access thanks to solar power.

We are looking for someone to start at some point during April, and to stay on at least 2 months and preferably 4-6 months. For more information on the farm, check out our website at www.visfi.org. To apply, send cover letter and resume to Ben Coerper at animals@visfi.org.

Can you email a resume to me with your contact information?

Weir River Farm, located in Hingham, Massachusetts, is a property of the Trustees of Reservations. The farm sustainably raises livestock and vegetables and provides educational opportunities for adults and children. We are hiring one full-time and one part-time market garden apprentice for the newly expanded 2010 vegetable program. We seek responsible, hard-working, enthusiastic people to assist with all aspects of a small, organically-grown vegetable operation. Responsibilities include assisting with crop production, greenhouse work, field preparations & tillage, hand and tractor cultivation, harvesting and distribution through farmer’s markets, on-site farm stand, and donations. Besides having an interest in sustainable farming, apprentices should enjoy working with volunteers of all ages and be up for the challenge of physically demanding tasks, work hours, and pace of the farm season. We seek personable and flexible crew members who have great senses of humor and work well both independently and as part of a team. This is a seasonal position starting mid-April and ending mid-October, 2010. Compensation includes a stipend, plus veggies, participation in Eastern Mass CRAFT workshops, and attendance at a summer farming conference. Experience of at least one season at a production farm is preferred but not required.

Interested candidates should send letters and resumes to Amy Baron, Crop Program Manager, at abaron (AT) ttor (DOT) org.

The Trustees is an equal opportunity employer.

Bootstrap Farm is a small sustainable veggie farm in Yale, OK. Last year we farmed 8 acres of leased land, and have moved up to 40 acres of prime bottomland. The farm is moved and the irrigation and cooler are set up and the house is nearly finished. We were planning 10 acres of veggies this year. We have CSA commitments and a great business plan, are already selling to Whole Foods and they are begging us for more.

The problem that in the process of moving my wife and business partner has left me, and I don't know if I can go it alone. I'm open to just about any arrangement that would be fair for you and me, as long as you have experience. There will be a room available in the house if you need living space.

This could be a really good oppurtunity for somebody who has done some internships, but has had a hard time moving toward the goal of managing a farm.

Thank You,
Don

I've worked for large and small organic operations for the last 13 years. I also owned and operated my own small-farm on the west coastfor 4 years. My lease is not going to be renewed and I am looking for a new or existiing farm that could use my experience. West Coast preferred but open to all ideas. Plenty of references and proven track-record.

I am looking over old posts. Do you find what you were looking for in terms of employment? I have an 11 acre start up market garden in Loudoun County VA and am looking for help with establishing a high tunnel, planting and harvesting greens in low tunnels and marketing.

Kate:
I am wondering if you found anything? I am going back over the old posts. I am looking for help on my 11 acre market garden. We don't have goats but my wife was raised up on a goat dairy and we talked about getting goats and I'm not against it. Anyway, I'm in Loudoun County VA and the thing that got me was your sincerity and the guitar playing comment. I play a mean mandolin.

You should respond if you want to chat.

Hi Rodale community:

I'm a 25-year-old native Texan interested in a farm apprenticeship for the 2010 season. I'm currently volunteering on organic farms in New Zealand through the WWOOF program, where I've had a season of experience on many different sorts of farms (small and big, conventional organic and biodynamic, dairy and beef and market garden, etc.) but will arrive back in the States in early May looking to commit to a full North American season on a single small, production-scale organic farm--preferably in the Pacific Northwest or Mid-Atlantic or Northeast regions, and preferably involved in the CSA movement (because I believe strongly in this movement...).

I am happy to provide a CV and work references, and to answer any and all questions about my personality, my work experience, my credentials, and my vision for the future of organic farming. Please email me to talk about details and dates.

Thank you for your time and consideration--and have a wonderful day!

Warmly,
Scott Clyburn

12-month Farm/Garden Internship

Our not-for-profit organization consists of North Country School, a boarding school for 4th-9th graders, and Camp Treetops, a co-ed seven-week summer camp. Farming, organic gardening, and forest management play central roles in the lives of children and adults, both at camp and school. Our animal program consists of the care and management of 12 horses for recreational riding, as well as sheep, goats, llamas, chickens, and pigs. We produce about four acres of vegetables for use at school and camp and maintain large flower gardens. During the late winter we tap approximately 500 trees for maple syrup production. The work is demanding but highly rewarding. Interns have many opportunities to teach children about farming, as well as being involved in all aspects of boarding school and camp life.

Twelve-month interns receive room and board, health insurance, and a small stipend.
