“I am honored to have been a part of the Saratoga Farmers Market community. This internship was very helpful in allowing me to get hands-on experience with my passions for sustainable farming. I met many great farmers that were open and willing to educate me on farming. In addition to this, I worked with a great group of people who were passionate about the market. Every day brought something new and exciting to do.”

“Being an intern at the Saratoga Farmer’s Market was the best experience professionally and personally. The work encouraged me to interact with the vendors and customers, who taught me more about the local food system than any class could have conveyed. Not only did the market feel like a family, but they helped to increase my awareness of what our society needs, and how we can function in a more sustainable manner that is kinder to people and the planet. Never have I had an internship cultivate such a breadth of skills, experiences, and friendships such as that with the Saratoga Farmer’s Market. Foodies, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, inquiring minds, and so many more will find the internship of a lifetime here.”

“My internship at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market was an excellent opportunity. I loved the diversity of the experience and the variety of skills I was able to develop: from customer service to writing to public relations to social media and photography. Plus, it was amazing to be able to gain that experience outdoors and in the lovely ambiance of the market, rather than cooped up in an office! The internship was also a really nice way to connect and engage with the Saratoga Springs community. I learned a lot, and had so much fun at the same time.”
