Internship in Regenerative Farming, Horticulture, and Eco-Psychology
What it is
As our flagship program, the Institute of Soil and Soul offers full and part-time internships from April-November, for college students seeking credit and beginning farmers seeking a comprehensive education in regenerative farming, horticulture, and eco-psychology. Interns will be fully immersed in the operations involved in running a small-scale regenerative farm, such as planting and propagation, harvesting, and animal husbandry, as well as the philosophies and foundational texts of the burgeoning regenerative farming movement and eco-psychology.
Interns will walk away with an accomplished understanding of what it takes (and means) to build strong, healthy soils, as well as the techniques of composting, medicinal and culinary mushroom cultivation, plant harvesting and propagation, orchard care, animal husbandry, holistic management, water conservation, and more.
Most importantly, interns will experience what it means to engage in meaningful work in a supportive environment, and be given an opportunity to unplug from normal distractions, and discover and embrace an alternative vision in line with core values. Prior experience is not necessary. Internships are unpaid.
How to apply
We ask that candidates interested in proceeding with the application process send a resume and cover letter detailing your background and interests, addressed to Gabriel directly at info@soilandsoulfarm.org.
Please write honestly and from the heart, reflecting upon what Masanobu Fukuoka, the founder of Natural Farming once wrote: "The ultimate goal of farming is not the cultivation of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”
*Prior experience with horticulture is not necessary. We look forward to meeting you!
