New applications for the 2026 Summer Farm Trainee program are now being accepted and are due May 31. If you are 18 or older, and would like to work at Homestead Farm Center, contact us by email at [email protected] for more information. Trainees learn to garden, harvest, and prepare vegetables they grow themselves, work with small livestock, create farm crafts, and experience what's needed to operate a traditional West Virginia farm. You will receive a stipend of $15/day worked. Transportation provided on Fridays from the DAC in Fairmont. Come join us for a fun and activity filled summer at the Homestead Farm Center!
