Fiddlehead Farm
Fiddlehead Farm is a 128 acre farm property with our production focused on a three acre market garden. This is the farm’s first year of operation with Stephen Laing, farm manager, coming out of several internships and the Fleming College Sustainable Agriculture Program. Stephen and his partner Heather steward this property overlooking Fish Lake in Prince Edward County with help from the farm’s co-owners. We offer a modest CSA and will be selling at several farmers’ markets locally and in Toronto. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about starting up a farm and how to grow, market, and enjoy delicious vegetables and fruits.
Interns will live on farm and work in our market garden for the season. They will share animal chores with us. We’ll try to switch up chores every now and then to keep the activities fresh. Our goal is to provide you with an opportunity to learn about sustainable gardening techniques and skill sets while having fun and eating well. Interns will have the chance to develop skills and knowledge in composting, harvesting, irrigation, marketing, planting & cultivation, seed saving, seed starting, soil-preparation, transplanting, and weed control. We will set room aside in the field for you to experiment and grow your own crops.
Interns will be expected to put in 8-9 hours a day 5 days a week with two days to relax and have fun.
We are hoping to find interns who enjoy physical work, have an interest and commitment to sustainable agriculture, enjoy people, are fun, are responsible, and who will laugh at my jokes.
Contact us with a CV/resume to apply or call/email with questions.
Sincerely,
The Fiddlehead Farm Team.
