ABOUT
HOUSE IN THE WOODS FARM
House
in the Woods Farm is an organic farm in Frederick County (Adamstown,
Maryland), established in 2000. We run a Community Supported Agriculture
(CSA) program, sell to our local natural food co-op, and support the
Frederick Food Bank. Our farm is certified organic and uses sustainable
farming practices. Our farm is operated by farm owners, Phil and Ilene
Freedman. Phil has an electrical engineering degree from The University of
Rochester. Ilene has a Masters degree in Environmental Psychology from The
University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment.

OUR INTERNSHIPS
Typically,
summer internships involve 4-12 hours of work per week for the summer,
often beginning in late May or the first week of June. Find out what your
credit program requires in number of hours worked. Transportation to the
farm is required; public transportation is not accessible.
We
have been working with college interns on the farm for over ten years. We
support student interns with a context of how higher education can apply to
sustainable agriculture, a wide variety of tasks on the farm, and
conversations about current events in agriculture so students can gain a
broad perspective on how an organic farm can operate and impact community.
COMPENSATION
These
are unpaid internships. Support for
personalized writing or farm projects available. Perks include weekly organic
veggies.
