I would appreciate it if somebody on the CSA list could post this message
to
SANET, and to any other lists where it would appropriate (and wouldn't
constitute spamming). Thanks! --Sarah
INTERNS WANTED - Roxbury Farm
Roxbury Farm offers opportunities to be involved in all aspects of
production on a well established, financially successful, mechanized
farm, and to work with and learn from a farmer with twenty years of
growing experience and a commitment to teaching.
Roxbury Farm is a 190-acre biodynamic farm near Hudson, NY with 25
acres in vegetable production for a Community Supported Agriculture
(CSA) membership of 675 shareholders located in Manhattan, Albany, and
Columbia County, NY. Livestock provides for a portion of the farm's
fertility needs and supplies meat to our members. The farm has been
operated from its inception in 1990 by Jean-Paul Courtens, who is joined
in 1999 by Sarah Shapiro.
Interns interact with the local farm community through our
participation in the Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training
(CRAFT) program, a six month program in which interns visit twelve
organic and biodynamic farms in the region.
Roxbury Farm provides on-farm housing with a full kitchen and
washing
machine, all farm food crops, a food purchasing budget, a $300/month
stipend, and Workers Compensation, for three interns during the growing
season.
