Sustain Yourself with an Internship at Better Farm

/
2010 intern Joe Pintaudi
Do you prefer growing food over grocery shopping, lakes and rivers over swimming pools, compost over garbage, campfires over television, and family dinners over drive-thru lanes? Do you love getting your hands dirty? Feeling your skin tingle under a full sun? Do you relish the opportunity to make the world around you a little brighter, a little better, than how you found it?

Better Farm's sustainability internship program runs in one- to three-month intervals and is available to individuals interested in a myriad of sustainability issues; with each unpaid internship tailored to suit a specific person's needs and goals.

From working in our organic garden to caring for livestock to lending a hand in any number of green-building projects to helping out in the community-at-large, interns at Better Farm get to design a work-study program to benefit themselves and the world around them. Field trips, community projects, volunteer work, weekly farmers' markets, and day-to-day operations at what is truly a living lab of sustainable initiatives and communal living offers Better Farm interns an unrivaled living experience.
