| Dairy Farm Internship |
This program is offered by Jerome Verhasselt, who operates a micro-dairy co-op on our campus pastures. While not officially a Woolman internship, farm interns gain many of the same benefits – they live in cabins alongside Woolman interns, share meals, attend the Woolman intern seminar, and are able to come to community events as their schedules allow. |
