Internship information

General Farm Description: Because of our short growing season, with cold winters and hot summers, we have built a geothermal-climate greenhouse to grow vegetables throughout the year. We also farm an additional one acre. There is always something exciting to learn and experience. We sell our produce at our farm stand and at two Farmer's Markets in the area. And donate our surplus produce to local service projects.
