Internship information

General Farm Description: Our farm is 150 acres in the beautiful hills of south central Pennsylvania. Clouds and mist roll over the ridge and fill our valley with beauty in the morning and the evening. We have about 3 acres in vegetables for a CSA and farmer’s market, a young orchard, and heritage Tunis sheep. We have a Sufi retreat center that attracts visitors from across the country. The farm is located about two hours from D.C., Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, or State College. One hour from Frederick, Cumberland, or Winchester. Less than half an hour from Berkeley Springs W.V., where there are shops, a health food store, restaurants, a movie theater, swimming holes/pools, an art co-op, and the Berkeley Springs state park that holds concerts Saturdays in July and August. We are a spiritual community that practices Sufism. There are workshops held here regularly to help deepen spirituality, peacekeeping and mediation, and self awareness. We hold a strong commitment to land stewardship and service. We would like to share what we know about organic farming. We regularly donate food to food banks and shelters. It is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in a community striving to live sustainably and drink up knowledge and experience in a variety of activities. Please contact us is you would like to visit. We are a drug and alcohol free community and are Muslim friendly, with all faiths welcome. Due to limited housing, we cannot host children, pets or non-working spouses /companions.
