Here’s what some of our past interns have said about their experience…
“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.” – Kara Winslow, University of Vermont, Intern 2018

“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.” – Marley Bonacquist-Currin, Siena College, Intern 2017

“The hands-on nature of the internship program at the Saratoga Farmers’ market gave me the tools to succeed in the business world – not just from a technical marketing standpoint, but the tools to interact with people in a fun work environment! As I prepare for graduation, I realize that the internship program gave me the foundation and skills for the field I want to enter for my career!” – Courtney Kramer, Sacred Heart University, Intern 2017

 

“I had a great experience interning at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market! I met so many interesting people and was able to learn something new from all of them. I loved that the internship could be tailored to each individual because I was able to connect my love for nutrition with the importance of farm fresh food at the market. There is so much you can take away from this internship. It is definitely a job you will look forward to going to!”– Sarah Morin, Intern 2016
