Garden Internship
Market Garden Internships at Rainbow Ranch are hard work! They are almost never limited solely to work and toil in the garden. Some things to expect during a garden internship:

- Maintenance of garden fencing to keep out livestock and wildlife.
- Maintenance of raised bed plants, weeding, watering, pruning, etc.
- Harvesting and packaging properly for sale to the public - surprisingly, one of the most difficult tasks.
- Harvesting and helping in the kitchen with value added products and packaging.
- Cleaning of tools and workspaces, general neatness and careful attention to detail.
- Helping with chores related to the garden, livestock, waste disposal, composting and other odd jobs.

- Working a series of workshop events that are scheduled one after another during the summer months.
- This type of internship may also include a project that is administrative in nature that is too big or complex to include in the typical Administrative Intern's activities.
