The following is a brief overview of the internship:

 

Permaculture Homesteading Internship – June 18th-August 31st

 

Join us at The Dirt Rich School for our 3-month Permaculture Homesteading Internship!

 

Nestled in a lush valley on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington, we are a community of plant whisperers, soil (and sheep!) shepherds, and passionate co-collaborators with the sun, the microbes, the water, and the land. We have dirt under our fingernails, and we listen to stories told by bees. We ask questions of trees and we fill our bellies with marionberries and laughter. We see by moonlight and we are learning and relearning our role of reciprocity with this earth.

The Dirt Rich School is an educational permaculture farm and modern homestead that shares radical land-based living and practical alternatives to capitalism. We believe in sharing the skills and knowledge to reconnect with the land. And we need you to join us.

 

We are living in a shifting world, facing real challenges of environmental change against a backdrop of disconnect with land-based living, The Dirt Rich School is sharing the knowledge to bring us back to the dirt and back into balance with our ecosystems. This program will empower you to become a steward of the land and to provide yourself and your community with nourishing energy, resources, and food.  The Dirt Rich School is a great place to gain direction, learn new skills and emerge empowered. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, we believe that hands-on experience will give you the confidence to create your own sustainable future.  If you are exploring the idea of farm/gardening as a vocation or lifestyle, or just looking for a skills-based education, this is the program for you!
