Internship Details:
We are a small family & community farm in northern California. We grow vegetables, fruit, medicinal herbs, and raise ducks, chickens and dairy goats. If the three projects listed below excite you, please do apply. Expect disorder, complexity, no simple answers and lots of sweat and dirt. Our internship runs from April 2023 thru October 2023. We can offer a small cabin, healthy farm food, free educational programs at the School of Adaptive Agriculture and a small stipend ($500 monthly).
A. CREEK RESORATION: Drought, climate change, wildfire, two dams for city water usage, and suburban water usage habits have heavily impacted our local creek and groundwater, which provide summer irrigation water for our crops. We are interested in low-tech, beaver-informed, process oriented creek restoration.
B. MEDICINAL HERB GARDEN AND APOTHECARY: We grow a wide range of medicinal herbs for our community. And then we take it to the next step. We gather, dry, process and create medicines for our local herb guild and mobile apothecary project.
C. NATIVE AMERICAN CORNUCOPIA: No one can live on leafy greens! We have undying excitement (and deep respect) for growing dry corn, beans, squashes (and all the abundance of the Native American Cornucopia). We experiment each year with drought hardy varieties.
Educational Opportunities: Yes, free classes at the School of Adaptive Agriculture
Skills Desired: We prefer applicants that have previous farming experience, but other factors could override this preference.
Meals: Farm fresh food is available.
Stipend: Yes, $500/mo
Housing: Yes, a small cabin is available.
