First Year Internship Position
Do you know someone who thinks they want to be a
farmer? Wouldn't it be nice to get some
real world experience? Farming is a
fascinating business. You get
to plan, produce, market and sell your ideas.
It's not just growing food
anymore. We take great pride
in the quality and selection we have at our operation. Management of the crops is important:
winter/spring pruning, blossom and fruit
thinning, frost protection management, manipulation of fruiting wood,
harvesting different varieties, summer pruning and preparing for winter. In between, you get to sort, pack, eat and
sell the fruit. ( We like the eating part!) We started our farm on vacant
ground 30 years ago and we have successfully
achieved our goal of supplying our local community with quality fruit.
We use an Integrated Pest Management system which combines sustainable , organic
and conventional farming techniques to grow a quality fruit crop. We use row
covers, high tunnels, high density plantings and drip irrigation on our
operation.
We are looking for a person(s) who specifically wants to learn
about fruit production. This job would be
full time through December. You must be
able to work with others, work outside, lift 25# and have a positive attitude.
You can email us (manoffmarketgardens@gmail.com) or stop in at the farm. Thanks. We look forward to meeting you!
