INTERNS THAT APPLY MUST HAVE BEEN ADHERING TO CDC COVID 19 GUIDELINES AND MUST CONTINUE TO DO SO WHILE AT OUR FARM.
DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES AND SAFETY CONCERNS, WE CANNOT 
ACCEPT SMOKERS ON OUR FARM. SORRY !
We do require an application via our website, before we make a decision about our intern spots.

Please fill out the INTERN APPLICATION BELOW completely.  ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED OR FORM WILL NOT SUBMIT.

A couple of things to consider please.:
1.  Please, before you fill out the application, verify that you are able to get a tourist visa for the time you want to spend here, and check on airlines, to make sure the cost will not prohibit you from keeping your commitment with us.
2.  Our Attorney advises that We do not help with Visa's, and WE DO NOT SEND OUT LETTERS OF INVITATION. You should be able to obtain a tourist/visitor visa on your own.
3. DO NOT APPLY FOR A WORK VISA, you probably won't get one.  Instead just apply for a tourist/visitor visa.
4.. Due to our schedules, you would  have to arrive and leave on SUNDAY ONLY 
5.. We also would like to ask that you plan on presenting a short program (May to October) at least 2 Saturdays while you are here at our farmer's market, about  your country, its customs, and language.  You could bring photos, or anything that would allow you to give a 45 min. presentation. We would  like to educate our community and homeschooled children, both young and old about other parts of the world. 
6. If you are accepted you will be notified by email. Please watch and respond as soon as you receive it.
7. When you are accepted, Let us know when you have your plans ready, so that we can add you to our calendar of interns.
8. If you arrive at one of our  airports, you will have to have a phone with which to  call us. That requires a sim card for our country. 
9. Please make sure you have a way to call us immediately if your plane will arrive later or not at all as it is 4 hour drive round trip for us to pick you up.  If  you don't call, then you will have to find your own way to the farm, we will not come back, if you haven't let us know in time that you will not be at the airport.

ONCE WE HAVE YOUR APPLICATION AND HAVE REVIEWED IT, WE WILL CONTACT YOU BY EMAIL.  IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD FROM US IN 48 HOURS, PLEASE CONTACT US BY EMAIL, AS SOMETIMES THINGS GET LOST IN CYBERSPACE. ONCE WE HAVE EMAILED YOU, PLEASE RESPOND WITHIN 48 HOURS OR WE WILL ASSUME YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT APPLICATION.
