Up and coming

Anyone else feel like 2010 really snuck up on us? Here are a couple things to put on your brand new calendar:

Intern applications due January 15

If you've spent much time at Green String, you've probably heard about what an awesome experience our interns have here. Though the three-month terms go by awfully quickly, the days are packed with all the experience, learning, fun, and good food that they can handle. Interns leave with a diversity of experience and knowledge in sustainable agriculture so they can pursue their own exciting futures in the field! (No pun intended, I swear.)

The deadline for spring applications is coming up, so if you think you or someone you know would like to spend March through May in our little farm immersion program, go ahead and download an application at http://www.greenstringinstitute.org/internships.html.

Farm Tour Saturday, January 2

Our monthly farm tour is this Saturday, and whether you're an intern hopeful or not, we're sure you'll enjoy this educational stroll through the farm. Meet us at the farm store at noon if you'd like to join us. We ask for $5 per person from those who can afford it -- but no one's turned away.
