About SSF Summer Internship 2025
The SSF Summer Internship 2025 gives students hands-on work experience at the farm and aims to teach our interns about the essential parts of vegetable production while thinking about sustainable farming at large.
This internship will expand your horticultural skills and knowledge, developing applied skills in design, marketing, food handling, infrastructural maintenance and land stewardship.
The interns will spend their mornings Monday through Thursday working on the farm, planting, weeding, trellising, irrigating, maintaining, harvesting and washing the crops growing at the SSF. Wednesday and Thursday afternoons will be spent preparing and implementing the farm stand and CSA.
