Intern Application Procedure

Thank you for your interest in applying for an internship at Cure Organic Farm. This application is an opportunity for both you and our staff to determine if your expectations and our internship are a good match. Please answer the questions below to the best of your ability, with honesty and clarity. Cure Organic Farm does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, gender, sexual orientation, educational background, religion, or anything else you can think of.

Requirements

A valid driver's license is required. Unfortunately, we cannot house partners or pets of interns on the farm. You must provide your own personal transportation to and from the farm. Upkeep and maintenance of your personal space is the responsibility of the intern. Weekly hours will range from 40 to 65 depending on the time of season and the weather. Because the right fit is so important for our season, there will be a one-month "trial period" at the beginning of your internship, at the end of which either you or the farm may terminate the internship at will. We will schedule a check-in after the second week of employment with you to see how it is going. There is no smoking on the farm.
