Internship information

General Farm Description: We are a 62-acre farm located in Round Valley, just outside of Covelo in Mendocino County, practicing No-till and Biodynamic Agriculture. The farm is Sun+Earth and DragonFly Earth Medicine Certified. We are a production farm and cultivate a variety of crops and projects. We grow vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers for farmers market, CSA and value added products. For animal production we raise Merino sheep for wool and meat, chickens for meat, and a small herd of cattle. We cut our own hay, press apple juice and are establishing many perennial zones on the farm for food and pollinators. In addition to these projects we also grow legal cannabis and won the Regenerative Farm Award at the Emerald Cup for our growing practices and we are featured in an upcoming documentary "Tending the Garden" to be released this year 2023. Work on the farm consists of about 25% cannabis and 75% all of our other agricultural projects. Our fertility comes from cover cropping, farm-made compost and potting soil and using homeopathic preparations which are key to vitality on the farm. We believe that healthy bodies come from healthy food. Our beyond organic approach creates food and cannabis with high vitality.
