ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Through a holistic approach, this experiential learning program not only offers a practical hands-on experience in sustainable food production, but also demonstrates a functioning business model that can be replicated and multiplied.
It is designed for students, community builders and aspiring local food actors with an interest in sustainable and regenerative agriculture.
Our goal is to inspire and train a new wave of young change-makers who recognise the challenges within our current food system and want to transform it into a more resilient model.
We are looking for hard working and driven team players who are ready to step into a real-life work experience, and gain the knowledge and skills that will help them create solutions for the future of their communities.
I joined the team in the fall of 2020 and it really was an enriching experience. Being able to learn about market gardening while having the opportunity to lead a team and teach new interns made my internship meaningful for my professional choices afterwards. Truly a fantastic experience with fantastic people!
