The 2016 Summer Internship
We have some exciting news! Our summer internship program is part of all that's been expanding recently. This summer we will hire three student interns rather than two.
The summer interns are crucial to the success of our garden both in terms of tangible productivity and an intangible advancement of our mission. Student interns will learn the ins and outs of sustainable vegetable production: marketing, CSA operation, pest management, soil care, planting and harvest, seasonal planning, event coordination, etc. This will all take place on our single acre garden, giving these students a chance to learn valuable leadership skills in student agriculture and really put them to the test.We also have an exciting new partnership with Bellair Farm. One day of the week, MKG interns (along with interns of the UVa Community Garden) will receive exclusive education and training from the professional team at Bellair Farm. We can't thank Bellair enough for their support in this partnership!This internship an amazing opportunity to learn from seasoned farmers who have a large market base in Charlottesville, while being a key part of the Morven Kitchen Garden.Start date: May 2016 End date: August 2016 Stipend: $2000Prior agricultural knowledge (or a car) is not needed!
