Hi all -
I work with Rogue Farm Corps, a program that helps to train aspiring farmers/ranchers through hands-on immersion on
sustainable host farms. We have a great host farm
http://fragafarm.com that is an organic goat
dairy and makes amazing cheese! In addition they raise a specialty guinea hog as well as some berry crops. They are looking for a student intern for 2015 through our program - it would be perfect for someone interested in goats and cheese. I'll post in
chickens and the
cattle forum because we have some farms working with them as well. Here's some more info on our program:
