Description:

Sunfield is an 81 acre diversified biodynamic farm on the NorthEast Corner of the Olympic Peninsula (The NorthWest Corner of the United States). The climate is maritime and temperate. There is a Waldorf grade and middle school on site. The farm is comprised of 5 acre school campus, 42 acre fields and pasture, 8 acres wetlands, and 26 acres forest. 

Interns will be involved in all aspects of the farm. This includes propagation of vegetable starts, transplanting, weeding, and harvesting vegetable crops. Planting and tending orchards, hedgerows, berries are a large part of the learning experience. Animal husbandry is a major aspect of the internship, which includes managing cattle, goats, sheep, and chickens. Alongside these farm responsibilities, we also host educational programs and community festivals on our land.

Education is a primary focus at Sunfield Farm, and we are committed to providing a holistic balance of education and work experience for all interns. Once a week we will have “class time” to explore Biodynamic theory, farming basics, local farm field trips, and Anthroposophy etc.. Please come with an openness to Biodynamic Agriculture (https://www.biodynamics.com/biodynamic-principles-and-practices) and Anthroposophy (https://anthroposophy.org/learn-more/)

We offer food, education, room and board, and 200 dollars per month.

Housing in a farm intern house with three bedrooms, and a camper close by as well. The house has kitchen, living room, wifi, heat, shower, laundry, & bathroom. 

We only require a desire to learn and work hard. Enthusiasm is greatly appreciated. Applicants must be physically able and healthy.

Interns have free access to the fruits, vegetables, dairy, and eggs from the farm.

Timeframe: April 1 (SEEKING REPLACEMENT INTERN ASAP) to October 31st
