Company description Internship description We have hosted interns for over 25 years and have developed a well rounded and, in many cases, life-changing immersion experience for those who come to work alongside us in our small-scale veggie and flower fields.  
We are also seeking a six month crew leader/intern mentor to assist our team.

We particularly encourage those interested in starting their own sustainable small farms to apply. Couples are welcome. Pets will be considered on a case by case basis. There is the opportunity to stay for more than one season if we are a good fit.

Many of our former apprentices are now successful growers, building on our creative model of niche marketing and the authenticity of our growing practices. We strongly believe that each year’s group of interns is our most important crop, as they take their season of learning with us out into the world to affect positive change.

Educational Opportunities: Lots of hands-on instruction and responsibility in many aspects of the farm's operation. Helpers work closely with the woman farmer and crew mentor who emphasize teaching in the fields as well as some behind-the-scenes business aspects of running the farm, from bookkeeping to spreadsheets, accounting, social media, and CSA communications. Our day to day is spent seeding, planting, weeding, harvesting, washing and packing produce and flowers. A diverse array of classes may be offered both on and off the farm, co-created with other farms in the area and WSU to round out the experience.  There is a wide range of skill-sharing opportunities offered within our larger close knit community. A few examples are fiber arts, bee keeping, herbal medicine making, wild crafting, crabbing, astrology. 

Skills Desired: Agricultural experience is not required, though many past interns have already completed one or more seasons on a farm. In these cases, we have created a more advanced Internship opportunity to help them round out their experience.
