Job description

ABOUT

Our mission at Farmhouse Organics is to provide our customers with fresh, organic, locally-grown produce. We want to help deepen the connections between our customers, the food they eat, and the ground in which it grows. We want people of all ages to learn - through a personal connection with the farm and farmer - how their food arrives at the table. We believe that seeing the ground where their produce comes from encourages people to be thoughtful stewards of the farm's ecosystem. We want people to see that when we nourish the soil, it nourishes us. By growing seasonal organic produce for a local market, we offer a sustainable alternative to conventional produce grown in far-off regions and shipped vast distances to market.

INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW

We strive for enthusiasm and positive energy. Hard work and a feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day is our goal.

You will learn everything we know about organic farming while working with us daily. We have some reference materials available. We would like to have an outline of your specific goals as far as what you would like to take away from an internship on our farm.Our CSA started June 5. You will also be representing our farm at the Poulsbo Saturday farmer's market and the Bainbridge farmer's market as well as possibly a Seattle farmer's market too. You will learn how to pack the truck, set up and sell on your own, with another intern or with us depending on which market you are at.

This is a great opportunity to learn all aspects of small scale intensive farming. An internship at our farm will hopefully help you in your path to successfully operating your own farm.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone that would like to pursue farming as a career. Strong organizational skills, time management, and marketing experience would be helpful.

Your own mode of transportation is essential, we live 2 miles from the central part of Poulsbo and twenty minutes from the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal.

COMPENSATION
