General Description: We are a small diversified farm just outside of Davis, CA. We grow all sorts of veggies, fruit trees, and herbs that are sold to local restaurants and through a small CSA. Our farm also has some honey bees, goats for weed control, a steer in training to be an ox, some pigs, chickens for eggs and hopefully soon there will be some turkeys. The farm is cooperatively managed by three young families on a total of 40 acres, but only about 10 are currently in production.

Internship Starts: Mid July
Internship Ends: Mid September
Number of Interns: 2
App Deadline: Mid-July
Minimum Length of Stay: 6 weeks

Meals: No direct meals provided, but plenty of veggies, fruit and eggs for cooking. we can also provide basics of rice and coffee.

Skills Desired: None necessary, but a strong will to learn and enthusiasm for the farm lifestyle.

Educational Opportunities: All aspects of a small diversified farm can be learned on a minimal basis during this short internship. after the intern has spent a couple weeks learning about the different aspects of the farm he/she will have the opportunity to focus on areas that are of greater interest.

Stipend: $200/month for living off farm -16hrs/week.

Housing: We have an RV that is not great, but has worked for many interns in the past. it is next to our outside bathroom that is complete with toilet and shower.

Preferred method Of Contact: Email

Internship Details: We have the potential for two types of interns this summer. We would like one intern that lives in the area and can commute to the farm for a small stipend. This would require at least 16 hr. of on farm time per week.

Another position would be a on farm living position. This again would be for 16 hours of farm time per week.

Both positions would cover all aspects of our vegetable and fruit production during this period. There will be the potential for more experienced interns to take a lead and give more focus towards aspects of the farm that are of most interest to them. During the summer there will be a lot of work focused around harvest, sun drying fruits/veggies, weed control, fertilizer/soil health, sowing seeds for fall/winter and much more.
