General Farm Description: Full Table CSA is a farm business providing over 90 CSA members (CSA = ‘community supported agriculture’) with fresh produce year round. We do this on about 1.5 acres of cultivated land. Our farm is on the land at Common Ground Ecovillage where we are exploring how to be a model for new social futures that emerge in deep collaboration with living systems. Our mission is to practice small-scale ecological farming that is productive, accessible, and part of a larger shift in our food system so that we can help create happy and healthy communities from the soil up!

Internship Details:

This is a time of great unraveling…and great turning. If you feel the nudge to drop deeper into relationship with the living world, learn how to tend the earth while growing amazing food, and connect with other rad humans in community, this is the opportunity for you!

Take a 2+ month long experiential learning journey with Full Table CSA @ Common Ground Ecovillage this spring. Each week will consist of 20 hours of farm work spread over 4 days between Monday and Friday. We also expect a minimum of 5 hours a week of community work. Examples of community work include: helping cook meals, cleaning up common spaces, supporting community events such as wheel of the year gatherings, etc.

You will receive dedicated guidance from the team at Full Table, who has over 64 combined years of organic farming experience. Not only will you learn the hard skills of tending soil so that seeds can sprout and then grow into bountiful harvests, but you will also cultivate intangible skills related to business and community living.

Let’s tend the turning and pathfind regenerative futures together!

  • Be tidy and mindful of leaving spaces better than they found them
  • Be respectful to all beings on the land
  • Find joy and reverence and gratitude in the process of growing the healthiest food possible in ways that also grow justice and local food sovereignty
