Internship information

General Farm Description: Gorman Farms offers fresh, nutrient rich, flavorful vegetables grown with organic practices on our two farms in eastern Howard County and Whitehall, Maryland. Our produce is available through our Community Supported Agriculture (or CSA) program. We use Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) products for fertilization, disease, and pest management. We employ Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies and always aim towards sustainability in all that we do. We build compost for supplementing our plant’s nutrition and the soil’s overall health. We strategically cover crop our ground to protect from erosion, to feed our soils, and to maintain and offset fertility requirements. Our mission is connecting our members to our farm by providing the best source of organic vegetables possible with a unique farm experience.
