Episode 299: Market Interns: Eat, Work, Learn!

Call it internship, apprenticeship or learning by doing, it's all about training the next generation of farmers, foodmakers and market managers on the job. On this week's episode we talk about how interns can help your market and ways to make those programs beneficial for both sides. A true internship provides education and that takes effort. Determine the best time to establish an internship that works, by considering issues including:

• Identifying the differences between interns and volunteers

• Deciding whether an internship is paid or unpaid 

• Making sure you get the work your interns produce into that binder

• Creating success stories like the one from Williamsburg Farmers Market
