TYPES OF AGRICULTURE

Rogue Farm Corps has internship and apprenticeship positions at various partner host farms in Oregon which employ sustainable agriculture methods. We work with some farms that focus mostly on animals (meat, dairy, eggs, etc), some farms that focus mostly on plants (vegetables, herbs, fruit, seeds, etc), and some that focus on both plants and animals. All of our participants will be exposed to various farm production systems and enterprises via RFC’s farm tour events.

 

COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Rogue Farm Corps seeks to train an inclusive next generation of farmers and encourages applicants of all backgrounds and identities to apply. Rogue Farm Corps is committed to an ongoing learning process around privilege, power, inequality and systems of oppression. RFC has a goal of making our programs welcoming to, inclusive of, and accessible to communities who are under-represented as farm operators in Oregon, including women, Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+ individuals, low-income individuals and immigrants. Our desire to create a more equitable food system is reflected in RFC’s programs and collaborations.
