Everdale’s Sustainable Farming Certificate: Full Season and Summer
Everdale offers two SFC program options to fit your time availability:
- Full season SFC (32-week)
- Summer season SFC (15-week)
The two programs overlap during the 15-week summer season. Full season interns are engaged in a longer and therefore more comprehensive training curriculum.
Everdale is CRAFT’s only tuition-based internship. We follow an intensive training curriculum that includes project work, field trips, and seminars as well as experiential learning on our diverse farm. The Full Season and Summer SFC programs both include the following key elements:
- Seminars, field trips and project work (40% of the curriculum; 2 days/week). Dedicated training sessions taught by experienced farmers:
- On-farm training days (60% of the curriculum; 3 days/week). Experiential hands-on training working as part of a team of farmers and interns on Everdale’s certified organic farm.
Are you a future SFC intern?
We are looking for interns who are inspired by Everdale’s mission (see
http://everdale.org/about-us/) and want to play an active role in that work. The internship is about more than simply learning the techniques of farming. It’s an immersion into the world of sustainable agriculture. Interns meet dozens of farmers and local food activists and in doing so become connected to a progressive and optimistic local food community.
