Organic Farm Interns Wanted
Henry's Farm is looking for farm interns for the 2007 season.
Live and work on this beautiful organic vegetable farm in central Illinois and participate in every aspect of farm life from working in the fields planting, weeding and harvesting to selling the produce at the Farmers Market. And you'll get to eat the freshest, healthiest most delicious fruit, veggies, eggs, goat milk and meat on the planet-even more delicious because you helped grow it!
After one season on Henry's Farm, you'll know whether or not farming is really for you and you'll be close to having all the knowledge and experience you need to start your own farm someday.
