Summer Internship – SUMMER 2025 APPLICATIONS CLOSED

The farm internship gives students hands-on work experience at the farm and aims to teach our interns about the essential parts of vegetable production while thinking about sustainable farming at large. This internship will expand your horticultural skills and knowledge, developing applied skills in design, marketing, food handling, infrastructural maintenance and land stewardship.

The interns will spend their mornings Monday through Thursday working on the farm, planting, weeding, trellising, irrigating, maintaining, harvesting and washing the crops growing at the SSF. Wednesday and Thursday afternoons will be spent prepping and implementing the farm stand and CSA.

Fridays will be spent doing activities tied to the internship portion of the summer experience. This will include:

lectures/discussions on different topics including farm design, different aspects of vegetable production, soil and farm ecosystem health and social issues around food.
Farm tours and volunteering at other farms and community gardens
Rotating through different managerial roles on the farm; managing our farm stand, CSA, record keeping and outreach
Plan, plant and manage, harvest and take records for your own beds of vegetables
