This summer we are offering a Regenerative Agriculture Internship for students interested in gaining hands-on experience in small-scale sustainable agriculture. Interns will work alongside the farm team, including volunteers, to participate in every aspect of production, including planting, watering, weeding, bed preparation, harvesting, washing, and record-keeping.

The interns will be supervised by the Farm Manager and receive training in all aspects of the sustainable agriculture methods used by the farm. Interns will also receive instruction to the ecological and soil health principles that guide these methods and have access to the farm’s library of resources. This is a unique experience to learn valuable gardening skills and get your hands dirty in a beautiful outdoor setting, on the grounds of the Shrine of St. Anthony in Ellicott City. Participation in this internship will also allow you to contribute in a concrete and meaningful way to improving the food security of people in Baltimore City. 

This is an unpaid internship. Participation in the internship is not an offer of employment, but is a valuable educational experience.
