\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Want to learn what it is really like living off the grid<\/a> in a solar and wind-powered straw bale house<\/a>? Want to try your hand at organic gardening and building a sauna with natural materials? This summer, you can have your chance at life off-grid at Gooseberry Farm<\/a> in northeast Missouri, a family homestead demonstrating the modern low impact lifestyle!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gooseberry Farm of Red Earth Farms<\/a>, a collective of off-the-grid homesteads in rural Missouri, is accepting intern requests for the 2012 season. This is a great opportunity for the budding homesteader to get his\/her hands dirty in a functional homesteading environment.<\/p>\n

\n
This is a full-featured apprenticeship that will give you experience in many aspects of establishing a natural home and organic garden for a small family. As you work alongside us we will give you guidance and hands-on practice in gardening, building, cooperative decision-making, and creative child care. We will also share with you what we’ve learned about making income while getting started on your farm and raising a family. Sometimes you will be working with Mark on our off-grid strawbale house, other times you might be helping Alyson decide where to plant the corn, or figuring out how to make last year’s corn into cornbread with our 4-year-old daughter Cole.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/div>\n
If you find yourself dreaming about what it is like to use renewable energy, or live in a natural hand-built home, grow organic vegetables, or better yet, all of the above and more, this opportunity is perfect for you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Check it out!<\/a><\/div>\n
