Job Description: 

This internship is a professional development opportunity for aspiring farmers looking to further their experience on a production livestock farm. Some livestock experience, demonstrated interest in livestock farming, or experience working on another kind of production agriculture operation is required. Sequatchie Cove Farm is a functioning production farm, and for the 3 month periods interns will be treated as equals on the farm team, allowing them to experience the reality of full-time livestock farming. While we are a diversified farm, working with our two flocks of laying hens and our flock of Katahdin sheep will make up the majority of the internship experience. Interns should be proactive in asking questions about any other aspects of the farm that they are interested in learning about. We are happy to share!

While this internship is a learning position, we believe that the best way to learn is through hands-on experience. Interns will be expected to work a full-time schedule and keep pace with everyone else on the farm. In addition to working hard, members of the farm team also get to enjoy on-farm lunches all together during the week! We are looking for interns with an eagerness to learn about our regenerative livestock farming methods and a willingness to put in the hard work that farming requires. This internship is an amazing opportunity to ask as many questions as possible about the farming methods that we use here. We strive to farm in the most environmentally sustainable way possible while also providing a safe space for all different kinds of people to experience life on the farm.

-Compensation includes $15/hr plus a 25% discount on farm food. 

-On farm housing is available for $600/month and campsites are also available.
