BECOME AN INTERN
TERRA is happy to announce internship opportunities for 2023!
Contact us now and get the chance to be part of the core team of TERRA this season!
A unique experience giving you the opportunity to get hands-on practical and theoretical knowledge on all the elements involved in running an ecologically regenerative and economically viable market garden enterprise. From crop-planning and bed-prep to pricing and marketing and everything in between, this internship program offers a concise, guided, deep dive into the whole market gardening experience!
The internship programs run from April through to October and consist of a full immersion into the daily tasks at TERRA as well as participation in the core-team management and decision-making process. Interns are expected to be present 5 eight-hour- days a week as well as occasional weekend events and distributions. Interns are granted days-off just like all other members of the team. TERRA is responsible for providing a wholesome educational setting and guided hands-on experience in a friendly and nurturing environment. No financial remuneration or salary is offered to interns. Most of the vegetable needs of the interns are covered by TERRA, however they are expected to be fully responsible for other food needs and accommodation.
Over the past years, our experience with internships has been excellent. Probably the most mutually rewarding experience TERRA has known. We are very happy to see that over 70% of our past interns are now running their own successful enterprises! May you be the next one?
Limited places available Deadline: February 15th
