Internship information

General Farm Description: Wishbone Heritage Farms helps people rebuild a relationship with their food, where it comes from, how it is grown or raised, and how best to prepare it. We are looking to establish a direct relationship between the community and the land by using biodynamic, sustainable, and regenerative methods and being fully transparent. At Wishbone, we create enjoyable, healthy, fun, sustainable food and share it with love in the Charleston and Summerville communities. Our farm plan is built on an intensive grazing system which begins by systematically spreading cover and forage crop seed in advance of systematic animal rotations. These plants, legumes, and grasses recondition and improve the soil while giving our animals high density nutrition as they are rotated around pasture. As the animals proceed, they cut back the forage, sequestering carbon, and leaving organic material in the form of roots under the surface and fertilizer in the form of their manure above it. This brings the cycle back to its beginning to be reseeded and the process begins again. Utilizing this method we are able to produce over 50,000 lbs of healthy proteins each year on just 13 acres while improving our land, the environment, and feeding the community.
