We’ve had several people ask if they can come help at the farm. They want to learn more about urban farming. They want to get their hands dirty. And then Esperanza from Pluck and Feather Farm posted about it. It got me to thinking that maybe we should do that. Help people learn what it takes to do what we do. Get a bit of building experience. Learn to handle different animals. So yeah, we’re going to do it.
We are now offering internships! Unfortunately because we are not a business, the internships will not be paid.
So if you’re interested email us your basic information and why you want to intern with us.
I think that internships (even unpaid, witch is how they used to be) are a very good idea, for your farm or any other hands-on type of work.
I'm happy that you are willing to open your home and share your knowledge with others.
Good luck!
i've got 2 folks who are interested in interning. i was being real laid back about it, but what i've found is that i needed to come up with a plan for what the interns would be expected to do and what they would get out of the "program". otherwise i found that there was a lot of flakiness and not understanding of expectations.
