Company description Little Fox Farm grows a wide variety of vegetables, strawberries, and cut flowers on 5 acres of land. The Certified Naturally Grown farm is located 30 minutes Southwest of Atlanta, in Douglasville.  We strive to provide organically grown, local vegetables to the community by working alongside nature, not against it. Our vegetables are grown in a bio-diverse environment using sustainable practices that preserve and improve the health of the land and the community. Internship description The apprentice will be working alongside the owner/farm manager most days. They will learn how to seed in a greenhouse, transplant, weed, fertilize, irrigate, harvest/package vegetables, arrange flower bouquets, dry flowers, and handcraft wreaths in the fall.

Although some farming experience is preferred, it's not required. I'm looking for an apprentice who is passionate about farming, eager to learn, and creative. Farming can be physically demanding at times, but arranging flower bouquets and making wreaths requires creativity and patience.

The apprentice works at the farm Monday – Friday and attends the farmers market with me on Saturday. It is preferred that the apprentice have their own vehicle to get to the market. A typical week will consist of 40-50 hours. During the summer we take longer lunch breaks to avoid the heat of the day and work more efficiently. Compensation this position is : stipend / non-monetary compensation
Details: The apprentice will receive a weekly stipend of $150 and vegetables from the farm. There is a one room cabin provided at the farm with a bathroom and a covered outdoor kitchen area. Application instructions DeadlineMarch 15, 2020 Attachment click here to download the attached document.
