Urban Futures Farm is a 3.5 acre farm located in Olympia\u2019s Northeast neighborhood near Ralphs Thriftway, and easily accessible via several Intercity Transit bus routes. We operate a 45 share CSA and sell plant starts in the spring. We grow a large variety of vegetable, herbs and fruits in minerally balanced soil, using only organic fertilizers and with minimal use of fossil fuels. We also have a flock of laying hens, keep bees, and partner with community organizations to host various educational events. The farm is run by TJ Johnson, a former TESC faculty member and long-time local environmental and food policy activist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanfuturesfarm.com\/\">https:\/\/urbanfuturesfarm.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GroupedField clear\">\n<div class=\"objectform-parent NoLines objectform-item-display\">\n<div><strong><label>Qualifications:<\/label><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"item-value\">\u2022Interest in urban agriculture and sustainable farming techniques<br \/>\n\u2022Ability to get to the farm and maintain a set schedule<br \/>\n\u2022Willingness to do farm labor which can be physically demanding<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"objectform-parent NoLines clear objectform-item-display\">\n<div><label>Learning Objectives \u200b(Required for Internships and Work Study)\u200b:\u00a0<\/label><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"item-value\"><strong>Interns may experience:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"item-value\">\u2022 Growing and transplanting vegetable starts \u2013 we start seeds in small soil blocks in a greenhouse, then move the seedlings into hoop houses before planting in the field<br \/>\n\u2022 Preparing fields for planting \u2013 tilling, applying soil amendments, shaping beds and installing drip irrigation<br \/>\n\u2022 Direct seeding and transplanting plant starts<br \/>\n\u2022 Weed control, including hand weeding raised beds<br \/>\n\u2022 Harvesting and preparing vegetables for CSA boxes and delivery<br \/>\n\u2022 Caring for poultry<br \/>\n\u2022 Special projects<br \/>\n\u2022 Interns are also encouraged to undertake individual research or other projects, with approval and support of the farm manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GroupedField clear\">\n<div class=\"objectform-parent NoLines objectform-item-display\">\n<div><strong><label>Application Instructions:<\/label><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"item-value\">Contact TJ Johnson at <a href=\"mailto:urbanagrarian@comcast.net\">urbanagrarian@comcast.net<\/a> or 360-338-8654 to request an application.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information or assistance with internship application\/Internship Learning Contract please contact:<br \/>\nEvergreen &#8211; Internships and Employer Development Office<br \/>\nAcademic and Career Advising<br \/>\nLibrary, Second Floor, #2153<br \/>\nTel. 360-867-6312<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:Advising@evergreen.edu\">Advising@evergreen.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For assistance with resume contact:<br \/>\nEvergreen &#8211; Career Advising<br \/>\nAcademic and Career Advising<br \/>\nLibrary, Second Floor, #2153<br \/>\nTel. 360-867-6312<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:advising@evergreen.edu\">advising@evergreen.edu<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8699,"featured_media":34096,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[18],"tags":[36,19,7,8,9],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36540"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8699"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36540"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36541,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36540\/revisions\/36541"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
