Job description

Learn how to grow food, Urban farms and gardens

This volunteer position provides a season-long opportunity to assist in running a successful small-scale urban farm. Our Farm serves as a model of local sustainable food production and is a community hub, providing hands-on learning and volunteer opportunities to the community. Volunteer Interns will be leaders on the farm and gain hands-on experience in all aspects of enterprise, including farm management, volunteer coordination, community outreach and education with supervision and mentorship from our Farm Manager.

We believe that the best way to learn about farming is by farming, and therefore the majority of the internship will involve working alongside our farmers and learning about the importance of planning, pace, efficiency and timing. We are more than happy to accommodate specific learning requests from dedicated interns.

We are not looking simply for labourers, but for people keen to learn as much as they can about running a successful urban farming operation. Our hope is that our volunteer interns will leave the program feeling confident that they have a solid base of understanding in how to run a small urban farm operation. Reference letters available upon completion of internship.

  • Seeding/propagation: direct seeding, seedling starting and maintenance, transplanting
  • Crop maintenance: pruning, thinning, weed and pest management
  • Harvesting and post-harvest preparation
  • Marketing produce and managing a farm market
  • Community outreach and events

What We’re Looking For:

  • Willingness to work outdoors in all weather conditions
