Through garden tours, seminars, demonstrations, and discussion during work, interns will learn the general principles and methods of organic farming, as well as the cultural needs of each crop. The interns' experience will also be highly enriched by participating, at our expense, in a weekly 6-hr. Interns can also take other classes in this excellent Program for a very reasonable fee. In addition, interns may propose their own experiments at our farm. Sundays and every other Saturday are off.
Work is moderately strenuous, sometimes hot and sticky.
Some people get itchy from chigger bites. We take siesta after lunch on hot days. We provide a private living space, board, and small stipend that starts after the first month and increases with length of stay. In some cases references can be substituted for a visit.
