Internship in bio-intensive market gardening

Market gardening trainee

At Les Jardins de la Valette, we apply bio-intensive growing methods that I learned from Jean-Martin Fortier and Maud-Hélène Desroches, founders of Les Jardins de la Grelinette in Quebec. After an internship on their farm in 2010, I decided to transpose these practices to my small farm in Sanvensa, France.

Vous travaillerez sur une microferme de moins de 5 000m², dont 1300 m² sous serres en suivant des techniques de production respectueuses de l’environnement et de la biodiversité, sur des planches permanentes, pour minimiser la perturbation du sol et permettre aux micro-organismes de prospérer.

As a trainee, you'll be able to get involved in all stages of vegetable productionfrom seedbed preparation to soil tillage and fertilization.

Internship terms and conditions

Places are limited, and we welcome a maximum of 2 trainees at a time. Shared accommodation is available on site, with several beds, shower, kitchen and toilet facilities. Meals are not provided, so it's up to you to cook on the premises, although you do have access to seasonal vegetables.

Internships are unpaid.

Only internships with an agreement are accepted (schoolchildren, people returning to work, project leaders...), so we prefer internships of at least 4 consecutive weeks.

Please complete the registration form.

See you soon!
