ABOUT THE POSITION: This is the fifth year we will offer this internship. It is an opportunity to forage with an expert guide and to receive complete and thorough training. The position entails participating in all aspects of the operation: learning to identify, harvest, process, pack, ship, and deliver product, as well as other aspects of running a small business. You may participate in any of these locations and times: PENNSYLVANIA (greater Philadelphia area) from Mid-March - April, and May; VERMONT for May and June; MAINE (mid-coast): July-November. NOTE: This is an unpaid internship unless otherwise arranged. We offer room and board in Vermont and Maine. This is also a good opportunity for a student looking for a summer job in Maine. Depending on commitment and experience a stipend or hourly wage is available.
REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must have a good work ethic, flexibility to adjust to the season as it presents itself, a positive attitude, and must enjoy working outside. A commitment of no less than two weeks is requested. Preference will be given to those who commit for longer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and experience. We find that the qualities that make for good chefs and farmers also make for good foragers: a strong work ethic, attention to detail, care about product, pride in one's work, flexibility, and a positive attitude.
