Farm to Table Garden Internship in New York State

The Sylvia Center at Katchkie Farm is offering a 6-month internship for our Farm to Table Garden Program for the 2015 growing season. Working in collaboration with the Education Director and Culinary Instructor, the Farm to Table Garden Program Intern will learn to develop, prepare for, and eventually act as the lead instructor for the garden component of our farm to table educational programs. This individual will come to hold a leadership role in the management of the half-acre Children’s Garden, manage the care of animals on the farm, assist in leading volunteers in the field, help with the culinary portion of the program as needed, help conduct special on and off farm events and programs, and provide general operational and administrative support to the non-profit. Educational opportunity topics include: farm to table education for children, small scale organic gardening, and basic culinary technique and meal creation. The Farm to Table Garden Program Intern will work directly with, and be supervised by, the Education Director.
