Education
Internships
For those wanting to learn all that we do here at Cox Homestead, we offer "learning weeks." This is a week long, one-on-one mentorship and hands on learning experience. Opportunities include all things gardening (flowers and vegetables), processing rabbits and chickens, routine animal care, short term rental maintenance, social media work, and small business insights. The internship is 4 nights and 5 days. The intern will have all room and board provided in exchange for labor. Intern must be able to lift 50 pounds, be in the presence of animal processing, and enjoy time outside. We are looking for an individual with a positive outlook that desires to learn more about the homestead lifestyle.
Primarily led by Laura, we are only accepting female applicants at this time.
Next Learning Week TBA.
Applications will be accepted once date is announced.
