SUMMER INTERNSHIP

For several years, we’ve been fortunate to host outstanding summer interns at Heimer Hampshires. Some have gone on to launch their own show pig programs. Others have returned in more permanent roles here on the farm. And some have taken what they learned on The Hill into careers beyond agriculture.

No matter where they landed, their time here was the very definition of doing to learn.

As winter winds down and we look ahead to summer, we are seeking at least one — possibly two — interns for the upcoming season. The internship typically begins in May and runs through August, concluding as fall classes resume.

This is a hands-on opportunity inside a competitive show pig operation. Interns are involved in daily care, feeding, cleaning, collecting, breeding, farrowing,  and sale preparation. You won’t stand on the sidelines — you’ll be in it.

Compensation will reflect attitude, effort, experience, and enthusiasm. Housing is provided.

This internship is built for someone who wants to grow — not just fill a summer.
