A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE FARM...

Relly Bub Farm is a small-scale and organic farm located just outside the quaint village of Wilmington in the heart of beautiful southern Vermont. It is there Nathan Winters rents land, grows vegetables and raises small livestock on pasture for meat. The farm is surrounded by endless hiking trails, parks, swimming holes, book stores and restaurants, all within biking distance. The bigger towns of Brattleboro and Bennington are only 3o minutes away by car. A summer on Relly Bub Farm is an excellent opportunity for any aspiring farmer.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
Our summer intern will gain working knowledge of small-scale farming performed with sustainable and restorative practices. It is our goal to provide a safe, productive and fun environment where a young farmer will learn more about farming and themselves. Because our farm is run by a new and young farmer, interns will also get a firsthand look at what it takes to start your own farm from a financial and business aspect. Interns will enjoy healthy and excellent meals, directly from the farm and will learn to cook.
