Digging In ...

We welcome those who would like to learn more about sustainable agriculture, combining intellectual knowledge, hands-on experience and good hard work. An internship at Earthrise offers the opportunity to explore:

  • Simple and holistic living
  • Garden and farm planning
  • Organic food production
  • Greenhouse operation
  • Soils and fertility
  • Composting
  • Marketing
  • Educational programming with local schools
  • Food preservation and canning
  • Cooking and baking
  • Poultry tending

Interns will take part in field trips to area farms and local organizations to gain a deeper connection to the community surrounding the farm. This area has a rich diversity of sustainable farming practices as well as progressive environmental philosophies which add value to our community. As part of the experience we ask that each intern develop a project of his/her own that will be presented to the community at the close of the season.

The Dirt

  • Season: End of April through early October (negotiable)
  • Workweek: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (varies with season)
  • Provisions: Housing, garden produce, basic groceries and a weekly stipend
