Organic Farm Intern

INTERNSHIP ON A LEGACY ORGANIC FARM

Looking for an unforgettable summer experience on an organic farm? Want to swap the hustle and bustle for open skies, hands-on farming, and a real connection to your food? The Grain Place Farm is calling.

We’re looking for two Farm Interns to join us on our 280-acre farm in the heart of Nebraska—where we produce grains, legumes, and pastured livestock using the highest level of certified organic and regenerative agricultural practices. This internship is paid ($15/hour), with free housing available on the farm in our new intern house.

The ideal candidate is passionate about growing healthy food; working with (rather than against) nature; and seeking foundational and transformational experiences in their academic and/or career journey.

As an intern at the Grain Place Farm, you’ll work alongside our Resident Farmer and Farm Manager on diverse crop production, livestock care, and general farm upkeep. This isn’t just any farm internship, it’s an opportunity to be part of a unique nine-year crop rotation system that produces abundant yields without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. You’ll gain practical skills and big-picture thinking related to soil health, agroecology, and holistic farm management. Additionally, you’ll be encouraged to spend time reflecting and pursuing personal education related to your interests.

The Grain Place Farm has played a role in transforming the lives and career aspirations of previous interns. To take a sneak peek into their experiences, please see our intern blog here and read the Organic Center’s interview with a former intern (now board member!) here. You can meet our farmers here. Finally, you can watch a documentary about the farm here.
