Internship Opportunities

As an intern, you will play a key role in day-to-day farm maintenance of plants, animals, and equipment. You’ll participate directly in weekly meetings in which we set goals and plan. In addition to learning about how our business is structured from the inside, you will have the chance to build skills in marketing, working with a team, and growing healthy plants, animals, and soils.

Activities

• Starting plants from seed for the high tunnel and outdoor market gardening

• Regular weeding and harvesting

• Animal feeding, watering, pasture rotation, and processing

• Fencing, fencing, fencing!

  • High intensity rotational grazing models require constant animal movement.

• Farm-related construction activities

  • Building and maintaining animal hutches and farm infrastructure

• Interacting with customers during regular deliveries, farmers markets, and farm visits

• Land, soil, and new cropland preparation

If you are thinking of joining or starting a farm enterprise and would like to get some dirt under your nails first, and would like to apprentice with a small team of highly motivated people hell-bent on creating a meaningful existence through pasture-based agriculture, this internship might be for you. Schedules can be flexible to accommodate local activities or private time. Alaska has a great deal to offer in terms of outdoor recreation and exploration. Our internship doesn't run during a specific time of year, but farm activities are at their peak from March - October. We have shared room space available, provide 2 meals a day, and transportation options for those with a clean driving record.

To apply, send a cover letter and resume to Sales@BloodSweatFood.com, RE: Internship. Interns will not be selected on prior experience so much as what each candidate is trying to learn from this experience and what they will be able to contribute to our farm as a whole.

Once we receive your application, we will contact you to set up a video interview. All internships start off with a 2 week trial period, during which time we have the opportunity to get to know each other and test for a good fit.
