Volunteer Internships

 We accept a handful of volunteer interns per season who are ready to commit to at least three months of learning-by-doing at Wild Willow Farm and are ready to grow into budding new farmers and/or good food community advocates. This is an immersive program that provides a share in the farm bounty, free attendance to all Wild Willow classes and programming during the internshop, one-on-one mentorship with our farmers, and the opportunity to train as a tour guide and trip leader. You must apply at least 4 weeks prior to the first day of the internship session to be considered.
