Details about Internship/Apprenticeship:

We encourage everyone to come volunteer
whether for a few hours
an entire day
or every weekend
It's an excellent way
to experience first hand
how and where your food is grown
and to practice
eat where you live
Weeds are often the biggest crop
on an organic farm
many people find that pulling weeds
can put one in a zen state
where you are weeding your mind
There are many other jobs
around the farm available to eager hands
Saturdays are the best days to come volunteer
but really any day will work
So, come get dirty
