Hi Paula, 

Here is the announcement for the ATTRA Intern List. 
Note:  I'm sending this to the list because I don't think
my email messages get to your computer successfully.

Keep in touch!

===========================================
The annual update to the ATTRA resource list titled 
"Internships, Apprenticeships, Sustainable Curricula" is 
now on-line at <http://www.attra.org/attra-rl/intern.html>.

The ATTRA "Interns" list, as it is commonly known, is a popular 
networking tool for farmers and interns looking to make connections,
and should be especially helpful as people make plans for the upcoming
'99 growing season.  

The December 1998 update is 47 pages long, with 160 entries
describing farms, training centers, and institutes offering 
internships and apprenticeships in organic farming and sustainable
agriculture.  Note:  The web version is a big file, 189K in length, 
about 60 pages in length when printed out. 

In addition, the Internships list provides an interesting 
glimpse into organic and sustainable farming in the United States,
because the entries and farm descriptions were written by the farmers
themselves.  

As an example, there are six entries from farms that participate in
CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training), which is
a collection of twelve farms in the Northeasterns states that offer
fortnightly seminars and farm visitations in addition to on-farm
training received by the apprentices during the work week. 

This is the 11th year ATTRA has circulated the Interns List as a
networking tool.  

Please note:  It is too late to add an entry to the '98-'99 Interns
List. Next year's update will begin in August or September.  The list
is compiled by Katherine Adam, ATTRA Information Specialist.
