COONAMESSETT FARM INTERNSHIPS

An internship is offered for both the summer and fall semesters each year.   We are no longer excepting applications for this year.  Please contact us in the late winter of '09 for a '09 internship.

Interns working at our farm will gain experience at doing a number of jobs on the farm, including planting, harvesting, greenhouse plant care and maintenance, animal care, farm stand work.

The interns work will include some aspects of management in all of these areas (depending on the intern).  We usually have several special projects/events every year and will encourage the intern to lead in at least one of these projects/special events. 

We can offer housing (sharing an apartment in a nearby ecological housing cooperative) and a stipend.  

We are not an organic farm, but only very rarely use unapproved products (non-organic) on our plants.  Our web site provides additional information about the farm.  We are looking for energetic, hardworking interns who like people and want to work in a fun, but busy, environment. 

Please fill out the application and send it to the farm for the 2009 program, or call us to talk about our internship program (508-563-2560).
