HOW TO APPLY FOR A CRAFT ONTARIO FARM INTERNSHIP IN SOUTH WESTERN ONTARIO

APPLICATION DEADLINE:
The best time to apply is before mid-February. Applying before this date gives you the best chance of receiving an internship offer from one of the CRAFT farms. Many CRAFT farms accept applications after the middle of February. Inquire with individual farms to find out if they accept applications following the deadline.

INTERNSHIP DETAILS:
CRAFT Ontario is a network comprised of individual farms. Each farm has its own distinct internship with different living arrangements, work and training schedules, stipends, etc. For more information about internship details, see the CRAFT Ontario farm descriptions and contact the individual farms.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS:

Please remember that you apply to individual farms, NOT to CRAFT Ontario.

  • Review the CRAFT farm descriptions.
  • Select the farm or farms you are interested in and contact them for application details.
  • Submit your application to each farm, according to their individual requirements.
  • Schedule interviews/farm visits with the farms that have offered you interviews.

After you have completed all your interviews, contact the farm that you feel you would most like to work with and tell them that they are your top preference. If you choose to apply to only one farm, please tell the farm this at the outset of the application process.  If the farm you choose is also clear that they would like to have you as an intern, then an agreement is made. If this happens, you need to contact all the farms that you interviewed with in order to tell them that you have accepted a position with another CRAFT farm. Please note that the farm you select as your top preference is under no obligation to immediately respond to your statement, they may choose to wait to see who else is interested in interning on their farm.  If the farm you initially choose does not have a position for you, you are encouraged to consider other CRAFT farms.
