In 2000, we hosted our first annual intensive summer internship program in Sustainable Agriculture. Funded by the USDA Higher Education Challenge Grant Program and the Z Smith Reynolds Foundation, this program includes production, research, and extension components in sustainable agriculture. This eight week course draws students from all over the country to attend. Students live in a dormitory directly in front of the Organic Unit. While the internship program participants are integrated into all of CEFS activities, many of the interns chose the production option at the Organic Unit.
Students learn basic principles and practices ranging from composting to marketing.
