FALL/WINTER 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.

With summer in full swing, we are looking ahead to the busy fall and even winter seasons on the farm. We are seeking an intern who might have an option for the fall semester, someone who might have an extended winter break, or even someone already thinking about their spring semester. 

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 pass the time.
