Beschreibung
Our society was established in 1991 in order to bring local control to the projects and activities taking place on the farm, and as a support and monitoring agency for the resident stewards. The farm serves to teach, demonstrate and develop values and practical skills for ecological land stewardship for the benefit of Cortes islanders and others who come to the farm to learn, thereby strengthening the relationship between community and land.The Board of Directors ensures that all activities taking place on the land are properly monitored and fall within the conservation covenants.The stewards are a diverse group of people with varying backgrounds and values. Common belief in the principles of land trusting, a deep respect for the land, and a belief in the purposes of the constitution provide the ongoing framework for all of our activities. Haying, maintenance of farm equipment, milking and other farm activities, as well as the day-to-day organization and operation of the farm and the operation of projects are the responsibility of the stewards.
At the Farm we’re offering a full-season agricultural internship for people who want to learn by doing. Soil on your hands, seeds in the ground, long days that start with morning light and end with the satisfaction of real work.
This internship is about stepping into the rhythms of the land. Seeding, cultivation, harvest, seed saving, and the daily care that keeps a farm alive. You’ll learn alongside experienced growers and become part of a community rooted in stewardship, food security, and practical skills that matter.
If you’re looking for a season that will challenge you, teach you, and connect you to land and community in a real way, this might be the place.
