Since 1989, the listing of sustainable farming
internships and apprenticeships has been a boon both for producers who need
some enthusiastic help as well as anyone looking for on-the-job training
opportunities. The listings are listed state-by-state in an interactive map;
employers list the openings for a small fee, and there is no charge for
browsing to see what’s there.
There are hundreds of listings on the site. Check them
out here. https://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/internships/
While many positions are for the summer, others are "full-time" or "continuously" filled. There are currently 19 positions listed in Idaho alone!!
Since 1987, the ATTRA project has been the nation’s
leading resource for information on sustainable agriculture, covering a wide
range of topics, including reducing pesticide use on cropland, promoting food
safety in sustainable production systems, reducing farm energy use and costs,
enriching soils with the use of cover crops, and providing technical assistance
in the growing areas of local farmers markets and urban gardening. The project
is funded through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Rural Business-Cooperative Service.
