Harvest Moon Farm
is looking for 4-5 farm interns for the 2010 growing season. We are a certified
organic, diversified produce farm that also coordinates a Producers Guild
comprised of local Amish farms in our area. Interns will have the opportunity
to learn all aspects involved with operating a produce farm. Duties will
include being involved in all aspects of the growing process. Greenhouse work,
transplanting, cultivating, harvesting, and packing. Interns will also be involved in the processing and packing
of restaurant and retail orders, CSA management and packing, and
transportation. Unfortunately, we
don’t have living accommodations on the farm but interns do receive weekly
supplies of organic produce and a monthly stipend of $750.00. Work weeks are typically 40 hours but
can be longer during peak harvesting weeks. We strive to provide a consistent
schedule but are dependent on weather so we will only hire interns who can be
somewhat flexible with their schedules.
Applicants must be available to perform a variety of tasks and willing
to work in sub par weather conditions. Our farm is located in Viroqua,
Wisconsin; nationally recognized as one of the most forward thinking and
progressive agricultural areas in the world. We are willing to assist non-local
