Internships at the Bullock Permaculture Farm

Please note: Our intern program is full for 2008. Applications for the 2009 season will be made available in late summer. Check back!

When?
The core dates for our internship here run from Apr. 1 - Sep. 15. Preference is given to potential interns who can stay through Oct. 30 and interns are welcome to arrive earlier and stay later.

What?
Each year we work on different projects. Consequently, the internship is different every year. Our projects provide hands-on experience in many of the following skill areas: organic gardening, grafting, pruning, electrical, plumbing, irrigation, metalworking, carpentry, nursery management, pond construction, mushroom propagation, ferrocement construction, canning & food preservation, cooking, working with small animals, plant propagation, bee keeping, pedal-powered machines, solar hot water systems, photovoltaic systems, natural building, mechanical, and more.

A typical day in the life of an intern would probably look like this:

We work four to five days per week, with the remainder left unscheduled.

Expenses?
We ask each of our interns to contribute $150/month to our land fund, which is used to supply tools and materials for our projects. Interns also share the cost for bulk food not grown here. Opportunities to earn money are plentiful on the island.

Where Would I Stay?
We have numerous tent pads available scattered about the property. We supply the space and a tarp for rain cover; you supply the tent (if needed), mosquito net, sleeping bag, pad, etc. We also have a few indoor spaces available for interns, but all spaces are supplied on a first come, first serve basis. Meals are prepared together in our intern kitchen.
