We have been running an internship program at the Farm for a couple of years nows. In return for some labour and contribution to growing the farm, interns receive hands on education in suburban permaculture, accommodation and delicious, healthy vegetarian food. Our past interns have found the opportunity to immerse themselves in a working farm invaluable to their permaculture education journey.

Our current intern is moving on and we will have a place available in late September 2023. The arrangement involves contributing approximately 20 hours per week labour assisting with animal and plant care, as well as working on new farm projects. For this, you get a private furnished room, all your meals and bills covered and access to your own garden bed to practice growing your own food. A longer-term arrangement (6 months or more) is preferred. If this sounds like something for you, please send me a message telling me why you think you’d be a good fit for the program.
