Internship information

General Farm Description: We are Rob, Cheryl and Matthew of The Wegener Farm. 2020 was a year of transition and learning for our family. The death of our fourteen year old daughter, a global pandemic and empty grocery store shelves made us think in new ways about health (physical, mental, and spiritual) and about food. We were reminded that there is no more precious gift than health, and no more important factor in health than what we eat. In 2021 we embarked on a new mission... to provide our community with nutrient-dense fresh food that is locally and sustainably raised. The Wegener Farm was born. We serve 130 families through our CSA program, as well as selling through farm markets, our produce stand, and wholesale accounts
