> SANDHILL FARM
> INTERNSHIP POSITIONS AVAILABLE
> APRIL 15 – NOVEMBER 1, 2003

>
> Sandhill Farm  is a supportive family of friends (12 adults, a 7 y.o.
> child, and 2 children under 2 y.o.) farming communally since 1974 on 135
> acres in rural NE Missouri.
>
> An Internship at Sandhill  is an opportunity to gain experience in a
> variety of areas on an organic farm, and to live, work, and play with
> folks who have chosen to live in a rural intentional community.  We like
> having interns because of the new energy they bring into our community,
> because we deeply appreciate the help they offer, and because we enjoy
> sharing our lifestyle.
>
> This year (2003) we are primarily looking for interns with a strong
> interest in organic gardening and/or food preservation.  This internship
> does not offer classes; learning is informal and hands-on.  Interns should
> be ready to initiate contact with members when instruction or direction is
> needed.  Self motivation and the ability to take initiative is essential,
> and interns should be prepared to work independently some of the time.
>
> Organic gardening includes: care of three large organic gardens and an
> herb garden, planting, mulching, weeding, watering, compost maintenance,
> harvesting for meals, food preservation (canning, freezing, drying),
> processing herbs for medicinals and tinctures, some wildcrafting and
> orchard harvesting.
>
> Other areas of farm life that interns will have an opportunity to
> participate in include: animal care (chicken coop and barn maintenance,
> milking, care of cows, chickens), childcare, food products
> (sorghum/tempeh/mustard/horseradish production), bee-keeping/honey
> harvesting, staffing product table at fairs, outreach work in the
> Fellowship for Intentional Community office, farm product marketing trips.
>
> Interns are expected to participate in all aspects of community life
> including cooking, housekeeping, and attending community meetings.  We
> encourage interns to participate in the childcare rotation.
>
> Sandhill provides all on-farm meals.  While meat is served occasionally,
> interns must be comfortable with a primarily vegetarian diet.  A vegan
> option may be offered at every meal. Interns should expect to bring their
> own tent to sleep in.  Community common spaces are available for writing,
> reading, and hanging out.  A $50.00 per month stipend is provided to each
> intern who stays at least 6 weeks.
>
> We accept applications throughout the growing season/internship months,
> but act soon, as we anticipate receiving many requests for internships and
> we wish to fill positions as soon as possible.  After we receive your
> completed application, we will contact you regarding a telephone
> interview.  Internship periods are for a minimum of 6 weeks in length or
> longer, April 15 – November 1, 2003.  Priority will be given to applicants
> who request a longer-than-6-week stay.
>
> Applications are available on our website, by email, or postal mail.
