We are currently seeking interns for the 2012 season. Our hope is to create a mutually beneficial exchange in which everyone works hard, feels satisfied, and comes out having learned from each other. Our farm currently produces vegetables and cut flowers, and are planning to add honeybees this spring. We farm using sustainable, soil-focused techniques, though we are not certified organic. We sell at our local farmers market in addition to local restaurants and local food markets.
We ask for four days of work in the garden, participating in ALL aspects of production: seeding, preparing beds, transplanting, harvesting, washing, processing, and selling if you are interested in coming to the market with us. In exchange, we provide primitive but comfortable and private housing, lunch and dinner on work days, produce for your personal use, and a small stipend.
Sandpoint is a wonderful place to spend the summer. There is bikable access to a large and refreshing freshwater lake for swimming, boating, etc., plus access to the amazing wilderness of North Idaho. We are not as isolated as it might sound, and our town is host to a realtively strong arts culture and progressive community. If you are interested in getting a part-time job, we can try to help you with the resources that we have.
We STRONGLY prefer interns who are available from May through October. Slightly shorter stays will be considered, but short-term stays are not eligible for the apprenticeship program. If you are interested, we would love to learn more about you. Please email us at emilyredwheelbarrow@gmail.com .
