Company description
Green Earth Harvest is a nonprofit certified organic diversified vegetable farm serving the Western suburbs of Chicago. With a relatively small crew, we cultivate 49 acres of organic vegetables and cover crop, utilizing best conservation practices and continually growing in our knowledge and practice. We are a program of The Conservation Foundation, a large conservation and land preservation nonprofit serving several counties, and believe that conservation and sustainable agriculture are inextricably intertwined.
Internship description
We proudly supply over 500 families with organic vegetables through a 28 week farm share as our primary business model. Green Earth Harvest is committed to training the next generation of farmers and leaders in sustainable agriculture. The best way to really learn how to farm is by working at a farm. Our apprenticeship is designed to give candidates a hands-on experience working in all facets of farming, whether it's weeding a bed of carrots, driving a tractor, watering a greenhouse, or managing a harvest. Farming requires lots of different skills and know-how that would be impossible to learn from books and workshops alone. Our apprenticeship provides a full-season opportunity on a working farm to explore the possibilities of a career in farming.
