Interns work full time, 50+ hours per week, from the month of April to the end of October. A typical day starts at 7am and ends in the evening after taking care of the animals.
We have limited paid internship positions available. If other positions are full or you would prefer more flexibility in your schedule, a volunteer position is almost always available.
The Black Cat Farm Internship Program provides the unique opportunity to learn by working on an organic farm and in a dynamic restaurant at the same time.
Our goal at the Black Cat is to create a working relationship between the farm and restaurant, where the menu changes daily based on what was picked at the farm that day.
Interns will tend to animals and livestock, set up irrigation, build greenhouses, plant, cultivate, harvesting, prep for market and the restaurant and also work with the produce in the restaurant’s kitchen. Interns will contribute at each step to the produce’s life from building the soil to the finishing touches in the kitchen.
We are looking for motivated persons with basic knowledge of farming and gardening, organic growing practices and a desire to learn by working.
