Do you know someone who wants to pursue a career/lifestyle in sustainable farming/gardening or other community-based farm/food related fields?
Everdale is now accepting applications for our Organic Farming Certificate (OFC) and Summer internship programs.
The OFC curriculum:
– Hands-on farming experience on Everdale’s certified organic farm (OFCÂ program – 960 hours; Summer program – 550 hours)
– A two-day per week training curriculum of field trips, seminars, special projects and more (OFC program – 640 hours; Summer program – 200 hours)
Everdale operates a 250-acre certified organic farm.  We use the farm as a hands-on “classroom” for the OFC and Summer programs.  By the end of the program interns are able to perform a multitude of farm tasks independently
and with a confident understanding of the basic theoretical principals behind each task. The OFC is a 32-week on-farm internship program (April 12
– November 19.  New in 2011! A short-season Summer internship (May 17 to August 27).
Our OFC interns see farming as a way of making a good living while also making positive social and ecological change.
