We are excited to be bringing a 13-acre direct-market farm back to life and are looking for two interns to join our team for the opening 2011 CSA season. Frith Farm sells vegetable CSA shares, pasture-raised eggs and meat.
What We Offer:
- Experience living as part of a diverse, holistically-integrated farm
- Unlimited consumption of our fresh vegetables and eggs
- Primitive accommodations on the farm (commuting to the farm is okay too). Accommodation includes an unheated bedroom and outdoor shower.
- Hands-on experience in all aspects of farm practices, including:
• composting
• seed propagation and transplanting
• field preparation and cultivation
• crop rotation
• cover cropping and green manures
• harvesting and post-harvest handling
• pastured poultry production
• pastured pig production
• direct marketing and customer relations
This is an educational internship rather than a salaried farm job. We provide a stipend of $100/month + room and board, however, the most significant thing you will come away with at the end of the internship is in-depth training in all aspects of running a diverse, holistically-integrated market farm.
We are looking for:
- An open mind and a positive, community-minded attitude. In addition to farm work, you will share in the house-chores and meals of the community farmhouse
- Excitement at the thought of working hard outside for up to 12 hours a day. Not for the faint of heart!
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
- Preferably some farm experience
We require a commitment of at least 3 months, start date is flexible. Must be at least 18 years old and carry your own health insurance.

THanks
