America’s aver­age farmer is six­ty years old. When young peo­ple can’t get in, old peo­ple can’t get out. Approaching a water­shed moment, our cul­ture des­per­ate­ly needs a gen­er­a­tional trans­fer of mil­lions of farm acres fac­ing aban­don­ment, devel­op­ment, or amal­ga­ma­tion into ever-larg­er hold­ings. Based on his decades of expe­ri­ence with interns and multi­gen­er­a­tional part­ner­ships at Polyface Farm, farmer and author Joel Salatin digs deep into the prob­lems and solu­tions sur­round­ing this land and knowl­edge-trans­fer cri­sis. This book empow­ers aspir­ing young farm­ers, midlife farm­ers, and non­farm­ing land­lords to build regen­er­a­tive, prof­itable agri­cul­tur­al enterprises.

A Must-read Book for Anyone thinking of starting a Farm Internship

5 out of 5 stars

JDabout 1 month agoVerified buyer

Starting a farm internship is not for everyone! Do you have the patience to deal with a new batch every year? Do you have a teaching mindset? Are you willing to invest your mental, physical and emotional energy on interns — plus lots of your time? In this book, Joel Salatin breaks it all down in a very readable way. He gives you all the pros and cons of internships and helps you to objectively look at the subject. He also outlines the blessings that come from training the next generation of farmers. Highly recommended! I wouldn’t think of starting an internship without first reading this book!
