Intern Program

Each year the Farm invites the public to join forces with its staff and volunteers to plant a special crop of potatoes to be donated to the Greater Mercer Food Cooperative and other local hunger projeccts.

Visitors to the Farm can join the field crew any time between 11:00am and 3:00pm, when help is needed planting seed potatoes in furrows opened with horsedrawn equipment.

Food and drink for lunch or snacks may be purchased at the Visitor Center during the day.

Visitors should also plan to see the painting and photo exhibit in the Visitor Center celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Corps. This will be the opening day of the exhibit.
