Farm Fellowship Program

Natural Agriculture Fellowship Program

Calling all creative, self-empowered individuals interested in experiencing Natural Agriculture farming firsthand!

In an effort to stimulate and share knowledge of Natural Agriculture, the Sugar Maples Natural Agriculture Farm is accepting Farm Fellows from June to the end of September. We invite you to spend three to five weeks in the invigorating wilderness of the Catskills and learn the basics of agriculture in harmony with Nature.

Duties include - but are not limited to - the following: preparing beds, sowing seeds and transplanting seedlings, harvesting, washing, sorting and packing vegetables, farm maintenance and assisting with weekly CSA Member pick up.

In addition, interns are encouraged to complete a personal art project to creatively express what they have learned during the Natural Agriculture fellowship. No artistic talent or experience is necessary -- just the will to express yourself!

Compensation: free housing, access to fresh NA vegetables and art classes (based on availability). Some farming background/experience as well as interest in the arts is preferred but not required. For more details about the Fellowship Program, please contact Kenji Ban at cmfnafarm@gmail.com.
