[MCN] Farm Internship Opportunities in Montana

[cfacinfo]

Farming Internships Available in Big Sky Country This Summer

*New Tool Connects Prospective Interns to Montana Farms and Ranches*



This summer, get outdoors, get your hands dirty, and experience the tough
but rewarding work of a farmer as an intern on a Montana farm. In addition
to sweeping mountain views, big skies, and grizzly bears, the state of
Montana boasts a rich and varied agricultural landscape producing
everything from kale to cattle on farms and ranches ranging from half an
acre to half a million acres.


Farm Link Montana is a new, free resource that connects prospective interns
with Montana farms looking for an extra hand. The website features a map
displaying farms with available internships, information about each farm,
and a common application form, so that you only need to fill out a single
application for all the farms you are interested in. The site also includes
resources to help you start your own farm or ranch in Montana, along with
tools to connect with mentors and find land.


Although each arrangement is different, farming and ranching internships
typically run for the duration of the growing season, from May to October.
Start dates vary, however, so get your applications in early to increase
your chances of success!
