This 8.6 acre organic food/animal farm is located on an Island, a 30 min. ferry ride from Seattle. It's a busy place because there are over 200 animals--llamas, chickens, ducks, geese--greenhouses, fields, gardens, lodging, weddings/events, farmer's market, crafting--as some of the business ventures that take place regularly. The intern basically helps take care of the field but will also assist with animals, construction projects, catering events, & whatever else may require assistance. The owner basically operates the B&B & cares for the many gardens close to the house, but is hands on with everything in the field & greenhouses. There may be CSAs & other foods to prepare for sales for the market; or assisting with preparing foods for events. Basically the farm with all its activities are done with the owner & intern. Already the greenhouses are underway with seedlings; the fields are being prepared; & preparations for the 50 new poultry are being readied. This is a busy farm with every type of vegetable, fruit, herb, flower; gourmet food is regularly prepared; homemade breads from around the world are prepared for the market weekly. The intern lives in a greenhouse attached to the house; food is prepared in the main kitchen or in one of the other kitchens. The work is hard but enjoyable; the owner provides considerable opportunity for learning especially about wholesome food, the environment, animal husbandry, planting, weeding, equipment care & operation. The site is somewhat isolated & takes someone who is dedicated to working & requires little supervision. It's a great opportunity to learn farming & all the types of skills necessary to help support a farm. Room & board + a small stipend are paid.
