Pick Your Passion!
Explore hands-on learning in conservation, natural resources, regenerative agriculture, food and forest systems, soil science, agroforestry, watershed health, policy, civics, permaculture, and climate solutions.

We work with students across all degree programs and subject areas to ensure internships qualify for high school or college/graduate-level credit.

Farm Force (All interns, 2x/month):
All interns participate in Farm Force, our community-based workforce initiative supporting local farms and food systems. Through organized work brigades, interns spend two days per month helping farmers get critical work done: strengthening our local food system and building long-term resilience.

This is an opportunity to contribute to real work at the intersection of land, food, and policy.

5PM - 7PM: Forest Kitchen Dinner

Featuring Our Guest Chefs

✨ Chef Kyra Kristof (Massachusetts)
Creator of Forest Kitchen dinners, Chef Kyra offers a unique culinary experience that intertwines food, art, and ecology. Her gatherings are more than meals—they are immersive events designed to deepen participants’ connection to local ecosystems and foster a sense of community.

✨ Chef Reuben (U.S. Virgin Islands)
Chef Reuben brings the vibrant flavors and traditions of Caribbean cooking, rooted in island agriculture and a deep respect for local foodways.

Together, the chefs and community cooking class participants will craft a farm-to-table feast that blends Vermont’s seasonal abundance with Caribbean flavors—using foraged ingredients, perennial crops, and contributions from local farms—to create a dinner that is as meaningful as it is memorable.
