Internship at Sunfield Farm

Interns will be involved in all aspects of the farm. This includes propagation of vegetable starts, transplanting, weeding, and harvesting vegetable crops. Planting and tending orchards, hedgerows, cane fruits, strawberries, is also a part of the learning experience. Animal husbandry is also a major aspect of the internship, which includes managing cattle, goats, sheep, and chickens. Along side these farm responsibilities we also host educational programs and community festivals on our land. For more details, look at our website.

Our interns will also have the option of enrolling with the Jefferson County “FIELD” program (Farm innovation, education and leadership development), a Washington State University extension program. Interns receive formal instruction classes once a week to study farming systems and theory, as well as having numerous in-field mini-learning sessions throughout the week with the farmers.
