Frog Holler Internship For 2010

Apprenticing with us covers all aspects of growing, harvesting and marketing small-scale, direct-marketed crops. Twice weekly stints at the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market plus packing and distributing CSA boxes are the main marketing avenues.

Interns work 5 1/2 days a week, but we're flexible about trips or visits home that may come up. We try to keep the work day to 8 hours, although there are many variations depending on weather and other factors. We provide rustic living accommodations, possibly in a communal setting with other interns. We also have one or maybe two travel trailers. We have a large barn that some folks have stayed in. We provide food basics and a small monthly stipend based on experience and length of stay. We like interns to stay at least one month, and prefer those who can stay for most of the season. We are busy April-September/October depending on the weather. We can't accommodate smokers and don't generally have meat around, although we have no problem if folks eat meat if they want to purchase it for themselves. There is a small kitchen and shower in one of the trailers, and we are in the process of creating a larger kitchen for our helpers, but this project has been on hold while we take care of other things. Lunches are usually communal with shared cooking/cleaning duties, although some opt to prepare and eat their lunch separately, and that's fine too.

We are 35 miles from Ann Arbor and 5 miles from Brooklyn, the closest town.

Holler Fest, our three-day music festival, is a blast and totally consumes us most of the month of August. We need help with that but also need some folks to keep the farm going.
