Fall Crew
Every fall, MEVO welcomes individuals looking to receive hands-on environmental work and leadership development to apply for our fall internship. Our seasonal crew runs from early September to early December, and interns select two days out of three we provide to work with us from 9:00am-5: 00 pm. The fall crew provides our interns with the unique experience of working at our farms both at the height of production in early fall and then the end of production season in December. Tasks that the fall crew participate in include but are not limited to helping maintain our current crops, assisting in the harvest for our weekly CSA shares and the Ramsey Farmers’ market, building structures on our farm such as compost cages, wash stations, etc, and preparing the farm for winterization. Additionally, fall interns will become well versed in volunteer management due to the groups both large and small that come to our farm to volunteer. Often, volunteers who arrive at our farm have never experienced working with soil and other organic materials and are not versed in physical labor. Due to this, our fall interns also act as educators for the volunteers who arrive at their farm, they will assist in leading farm tours and on-site educational instruction. At MEVO, we train and treat our interns as members of our staff and as such we equip them with the skills necessary to help the day operations of MEVO run smoothly.
