Small Dairy Farm Internship in Vermont

Sweet Rowen Farmstead is offering a Small Dairy Farm Internship in Vermont for 2012.

West Glover is located in Vermont’s North East Kingdom, in the heart of a vibrant farm community.  Sweet Rowen Farmstead is a small family dairy farm focused on producing high quality grass-fed milk and fresh cheese. Much of the work includes twice daily chores, Animal husbandry, gardening, fencing, and milk processing.

We welcome interns to share innovative ideas, and create a project they are interested in. We have many building projects planned for the next year so interns with carpentry experience are a plus. The Internship is demanding and requires that interns have a strong work ethic and willingness to learn. We will encourage interns to take the opportunity to meet and work for many of the neighboring farmers and learn about what they are doing. We support applicants with all experience levels to apply, and only require that you have a passion for good food.

-we try to split up the internship into three month blocks however; we are willing to modify the time line to meet your needs.

-spring: March-May

-Summer: June – August

-Winter: September – January

Pay:

-Since the farm is a small owner run businesses, we are not in a position to offer pay for the 3 month internship program. However, if interns express interest in staying longer then the three month internship paid positions are possible. Currently we are looking for someone that has computer experience and is interested in keeping the farm current in social media.
