Internship description ABOUT THE POSITION: This is the eighth year we will offer this internship. It is an opportunity to forage with an expert guide. The position entails participating in all aspects of the operation: learning to identify, harvest, process, and deliver product, as well as other aspects of running a small business. You may participate in these locations and times: PHILADELPHIA from late-March to Mid-May; VERMONT from May through June; MAINE from July-November. NOTE: There may be a potential for a stipend or a paid position, depending on commitment and experience. We offer room and board in Vermont and Maine, but not in Pennsylvania. This is also a good opportunity for a student looking for a summer job in Maine.

REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must have a good work ethic, flexibility to adjust to the season as it presents itself, a positive attitude, and must enjoy working outside in any kind of weather.  A commitment of no less than two weeks is requested. Preference will be given to those who commit for longer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and experience. We find that the qualities that make for good chefs and farmers also make for good foragers: a strong work ethic, attention to detail, pride in one's work, flexibility, and a positive attitude. Having one's own transportation is helpful, but perhaps not necessary. Compensation this position is : barter
