What you learn with an Autumn' Harvest Farm internship.

We invest a tremendous amount of time, energy and money into our interns and apprentices. The education you will receive is unique to our farm and can not be taught in any college. Like most things you get out what you put in. This being said we are confident that our apprentices would be able to step into a position where they could raise and market there own products with success.
Pasture based Animal Husbandry - We raise a variety of different animals on pasture including but not limited to beef cattle, heritage breed pigs, egg laying chickens, meat chicken, rabbits and turkeys. As an intern you work daily with each one of these animals learning what it takes to get from farm to fork. You will also learn about the symbiotic relationship they have with with one another and how they serve a vital part in making us a truly sustainable farming operation.

Pork and Beef processing - You helped raise it now help process it. We pride ourselves on being a full circle farm and processing our own animals for resale places a crucial part in that. At Autumn's Harvest Farm we process our own pork and beef on the farm for resale. People pay big $$$ money to attend meat cutting skills. Our interns learn these skills for free.

Marketing and Sales - We market our products in a variety of different ways including farmers markets. csa's, restaurant sales and our on farm sales. You will learn exactly what it takes to direct market a variety of different products.

Garden Program Intern and Culinary Program Intern


Introduction: The Sylvia Center (TSC) aims to address issues in children’s health by increasing access to the experiences of growing food and transforming it into a healthy meal. We inspire young people to discover good nutrition through thoughtful, delicious experiences with healthful, seasonal fruits and vegetables, on the farm and in the kitchen. TSC is part of a growing movement to transform the way nutrition is taught. We strive to increase access to direct experiences through which children come to understand what food is, how it is grown, and, perhaps most importantly, that they themselves can learn and choose to make good food for their own bodies. The Sylvia Center offers a set of food literacy programs that bolsters children’s and families’ knowledge about agriculture, food, nutrition, and the environment.

The Sylvia Center at Katchkie Farm is hiring 2 Educational Program Interns for the 2012 growing season, 1 Garden Program Intern and 1 Culinary Program Intern. These interns will work in collaboration with each other, with the Education Director at Katchkie Farm, and with additional TSC staff as needed. These internships are designed to provide individuals that currently have experience in the fields of gardening / farming and culinary work the opportunity to learn how to use their skills to teach: food literacy, self-efficacy in the kitchen, and the importance and nutritional value of eating seasonally and locally. At the end of the internship, the interns will feel prepared to work in the fields of farm-based and culinary education for children.

The internship will take place at Katchkie Farm, a 60-acre organic vegetable farm located in Kinderhook, NY (just 30 minutes south of Albany). At this location TSC has its own Children’s Garden where participants plant, weed, and harvest the vegetables. In an open-air kitchen they prepare the vegetables they have harvested into a healthy meal they share at communal tables.

Description: Each internship is a six-month position (May – October) and may be renewed for additional seasons. Reporting to the Education Director at Katchkie Farm, both interns are responsible for assisting the Education Director with day-to-day operations of the educational farm and maintenance of the Children’s Garden including: leading and instructing children during our weekly educational programs, doing garden work, caring for farm animals, and working on administrative tasks. Interns will also work with TSC staff to develop, prepare for, and conduct various off-farm educational programs, activities, and events including: farmers markets, weekend programs, and community outreach events. Interns will receive training in the pedagogy of teaching gardening, cooking, and natural science to children; in basic organic gardening; and in Sylvia Center teaching methods and culinary techniques. Additional learning opportunities may include visits to other farm-based education programs and food-focused operations, gardening workshops, working with local food-centered businesses, and readings in relevant topics.

Specific Garden Program Intern tasks:
• Develop, prepare for, and act as the lead instructor for garden activities during education programs and special events
• Garden, greenhouse, and farm animal chores

• Communicate with Garden Program Intern to determine garden produce availability
• Purchase rotating stock. Track and maintain appropriate inventory
• Monitor and maintain cleanliness and organization of refrigerator and prep kitchen

For Culinary Program Intern:

• Prior experience working with children.
• Must be hard-working, focused, and responsible.

These lean and long bodied winter hardy healthy bacon breed pigs that are excellent foragers. Handled on a daily basis these hogs are human friendly and quite spoiled by their humans.

The meat from these heritage hogs have the highly desired intermuscular fat as well as an outstanding taste.

Seven month old gilts ready to breed or barrows ready to harvest are $300 each.
Six month old gilts and barrows are $250 each.
Five month old gilts and barrows are $200 each.
Four month old gilts and barrows are $150 each.

5% discount if 10 or more are purchased at the same time. Customers have stated these are the best looking and most friendly hogs they've ever encountered!!

Priced at approximately $2 per pound (live weight); these pigs are a bargain when you consider meat from similarly raised hogs sells for $9 or more per pound at local farmer's markets.

Will consider fair trade of calves or nubian/boer goats for pigs.]]>2012-01-01T03:38:41ZThey are pasture raised heritage pigs and do well on grass and hay.
I also feed my pigs non-GMO corn and hay. They get no antibiotics or hormones and I do not add chemicals to the pasture.
I want to add milk to their diet.

Is anyone interested in trading a good milking cow for an unrelated breeding pair of registed GOS.

The Growing Growers Program is a small-scale agricultural incubator at Victory Acres Farm that will work with five partner farmers to develop the production of small-scale, specialty crops. The long term goal will be for these five farmers to either transition to their own independent farms or to continue farming at Victory Acres and contribute to the program as mentors to new farmers.

Victory Acres will provide these fledgling farmers with:
An experienced Agricultural Coach,
A Community Liaison to assist in marketing,
Affordable land, durable tools, water,
A pre-existing market through Victory Acres’s established CSA base, and
Weekly instruction emphasizing sustainable farming techniques, farm management, marketing, and nutrition fundamentals.


Since some of the greatest barriers for new growers are access to affordable land, lack of knowledge and experience, and the lack of a reliable market base, the Growing Growers Program will address each of these critical issues enabling our partner farmers to establish a solid foundation before transitioning to their own farm.

We are now accepting proposals (up to three pages) answering the following questions:

What would you do with 1-4 acres of quality farm ground? Be as detailed as possible.
What crops would you like to grow?
What experience do you have with growing (none is required)?
How would this opportunity fit into your life’s goal?
Why are you the right person for this pilot program?

Proposals should also include a resume and list of references. The deadline for submission of proposals is December 31, 2011. ]]>2011-12-09T04:19:03Z
