A limited number of internships working on established farms in locations between Hilo and Waimea are also available. These highly recommended opportunities enable participants to gain invaluable working experience with successful farmers to learn first-hand the day-to-day activities and managerial skills necessary to succeed as a commercial farmer. The internships require a serious commitment in terms of attendance and effort, but the lessons learned will be of great benefit to any beginning farmer or rancher. If interested in an internship, please inquire when applying to the program.
