Internship Farm Mentor Handbook 2011

(5) Selection and Notification
- Inquiries will continue through winter and spring. 
You can keep a number of applicants in a building pool of strong candidates, but at some point you will start 
losing them if you wait too long to decide. It's also not fair to them to keep them waiting for your decision, if 
they are receiving invitations from farms that are lower on their list of choices. Stay in touch frequently while 
you are deciding. 
(6) Arrival, Orientation, Work Agreement
- For those that accept your invitation to work with you, advise 
them of clothing and other articles to bring, and set a date for their arrival. When they arrive, give them a 
thorough orientation: where everything is, how things work, chores expected, etc. You may want to give them 
a day or so to settle into their living quarters and get their bearings, before they start working. 
It is highly recommended that an ―Internship Agreement‖ be signed by you and the intern. You may 
want to ask the intern for input into the wording of the agreement, regarding their goals in the program. This is 
in effect a contract setting forth what is offered by both parties; an agreement that training and educational 
services and whatever accommodation, meals, and stipend are offered are knowingly exchanged as adequate 
compensation for work performed. A general description of the type of work and hours should be included.
Though this may seem rather formal and untrusting, it will provide a basis for clear understanding of 
expectations and responsibilities of both farmer and intern. More specifics can be found in the ―Labor 
Regulations‖ section below. 
 
(7) Work Plan
- On farms where many different kinds of work are happening, with many changes from day to 
day as the season progresses, growers often find it useful to formulate a weekly and/or daily work plan.
Interns need thorough guidance on where and when and how each job should happen. On some farms, 
interns participate in such work planning meetings; this not only ensures that the job will happen when and 
how you want it, but also enhances their learning experience and gives them a feeling that they have a stake 



in the outcome. You may want to create separate categories for tasks on the list, such as planting, weed 
control, harvesting. Also helpful: Note precise location of crop, tools to be used and other specifics, and 
whether you would like the intern to work with you or consult with you before tackling the job. Some interns 
will derive particular satisfaction from checking off jobs that they took responsibility for.
