Thank you for your application!

If possible we’d like to meet with all applicants, preferably on the farm.  If you aren’t able to visit us on the farm, we can arrange a Skype or FaceTime.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Please see the Internship Page for descriptions and approximate schedules/ commitments for the various focus tracks.  Please note: the farm and its water system are not fully winterized during periods of frost.  The insulated 30′ diameter yurt is available for winter residence when not hosting events.

While we only have the ability to select relatively few people for the full time residential internship, we are sill open to hosting applicants who were not offered the position for shorter work/ study stays and customized work-trade learning opportunities.
