UPCOMING INTERNSHIP

Market Garden & Mushroom Farming

​

Workshop with Cutis Stone

This course is a combination of in-the-field technical training, classroom style interactive lectures, and plenty of time for questions and answers. Each day will be a mix of activities that follow the host farms weekly workflow. You will see every task that is done on the farm from bed preparation, planting, weeding, irrigation, season extension, harvesting, washing, sorting, and packing. We also will be demonstrating all the tools used and you will have many opportunities to try them yourself.
