INTERNSHIPS & GENERAL VISITING:
For those that are trying to experience living in community, visiting and/or an internship may be the right fit for you! And for those that are interested in Residency/Membership, visiting is necessary for us to get to know each other.
Regardless of whether you are interested in membership, spending time on our farm and in our community has been a fulfilling opportunity enjoyed by many people over our 50 years.
To request a visit, please fill the form out at the bottom of the page :
If you are requesting a visit with a partner(s), we ask that all adults fill out separate forms. If you would like to bring children, please fill out as much of the questionnaire as is relevant for them.

INTERNSHIPS:
An internship at Sandhill Farm is an opportunity to be a part of our intentional community by growing organic food, preserving the harvests, improving the farm’s land and infrastructure, caring for the livestock and kiddos, and endeavoring to live a sustainable lifestyle.
Sound interesting? Keep reading!
Interns participate, as non-members, in all aspects of the community for the length of their stay. This includes our meetings and consensus decision making process, cooking meals, spending time with children and creative problem solving for projects. We expect interns to be open to dialoguing about what they say or do as a part of the group. Our community norms align with feminism, egalitarianism, hospitality and nonviolence. Interns often become part of our extended family of friends.
Your workflow will look differently each day. You will be expected to participate in community work parties and garden work parties and will be expected to take some childcare shifts. Other days you might jump into whatever the need or interest is at the moment.
You will cook some meals on your own and some will be shared with your host. Sandhill will provide basic food staples for your kitchen. You will receive a small monthly stipend while you are here so that you can supplement as you wish.
Much of the learning and mentoring occurs while doing. Self motivation, good communication and the ability to work independently some of the time are keys to a good intern experience.
While there is always more work that can be done on an active farm/ community, there are also many opportunities to relax. Our land has inviting swimming ponds and woodland walks. We have a rich library collection, craft projects abound, we like to have friends over and we often create our own entertainment. We also have a weekly potluck with sister communities, Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage & Red Earth Farms. Local friends and neighbors often attend these potlucks as well.
We enjoy hosting interns! They bring new energy to our community and we deeply appreciate the help they offer. It is important to us to share our lifestyle and what we are learning of sustainable living. We also look forward to the social aspect of having more people and diversity on the farm.
You can send an Intern Application to interns@sandhillfarm.org if you are interested in participating this season.
