[TheUWfarm] Summer volunteers needed! (:

Hello farm community!

Summer is here and there is still a big need for help on the farm!! 

If you are interested in joining the volunteer crew, 'dirty dozen,' please email me and I'll sign you up!!! We will be meeting once a week for an hour to chat and make a to-do list (time undetermined), and then you would be committing to 2 hours of workin on the farm/ week! SUPER FUN and do-able! (plus summer is a time of bounteous amounts of food for you to eat! 

OR

if you don't have much time and just want to help out a little every week- we really need people to sign up to be waterers! This means coming to the farm once (or more if you want) a week and watering! Takes an hour or so, and is incredibly helpful! 

OR

you could sign up to take on a chicken shift- meaning one day a week you would come feed/let out the chickens!

I hope everyone is doing well! let me know if you want to  do either of these things!

cheers

[TheUWfarm] Summer Internship

Hi Rachel,

This sounds like a great opportunity. However, I am not currently a student just a former Alumni through The College Of Forest Resources. I am currently working part time as a Market Manager for the Issaquah Farmer's Market and am also leading field trips for Biology 180 Students. Please let me know if this might still be possible without being a current student. If so, I would be happy to forward my Resume and Cover letter to you.

Thank you,

Suzy Karl

We still have at least one opening for our two paid student Summer internships on the Farm. Please respond if you'd be interested in being paid to learn about growing food and working in the sunshine and dirt. No experience necessary, just a heart to learn and hands to work.

$1500 for 20 hours a week June 13 – September 28 (dates a bit flexible). One position will be focused on our current site, where produce and watering/harvesting working and learning opportunities abound, and one position will be at our new site by the Center for Urban Horticulture, participating in the shaping of new beds, design and construction of a compost system, installation of irrigation, and more.

We'll be arranging times to discuss the positions during Finals week, June 6-10. Email back with interest in this great opportunity!

Best,
Rachel
