Subject: Internship Position Local Roots Farm


Local Roots Farm (www.localrootsfarm.com), a 6-acre diversified vegetable farm located 25 miles East of Seattle is looking for one or two part-time or full-time interns to help
us this summer/fall. 
Siri and I are expecting our first child this October and are anticipating needing extra assistance starting in late-August and continuing through late-November or longer,
depending on what sort of winter we have. 

We currently pay our interns $500-600/month plus room (in a small travel trailer) and board (all the grains, beans, rice, and vegetables you can eat) for 6 days per week of work.
By the end of September, the work week shrinks to 4-5 days a week, and by the end of October 3-4 days per week. 

Because we are looking for help primarily for the end of the year, we can make accommodations for anyone who wants to work part-time and/or live off the farm. 

Your primary duties will be harvesting and tending vegetables and occasionally vending at the farmers market. 

If you are considering a farm internship for next summer, this would be a great opportunity to get your feet wet and find out if you are suited to working long hours at somewhat
tedious work.... there's a lot of that in farming! If you are interested in working on our farm in particular next season, we do give preference to returning interns.

If you are interested, please send a cover letter and resume to jason@localrootsfarm.com

Thanks, 

Jason, Siri, and Dan
