2011 Shares are now available! Bugtussle Farm is a 120 acre farm (2 of which are in cultivation) located in beautiful south-central Kentucky. We are committed to sustainable, organic agriculture. This approach provides you with chemical-free food and also directly links you to the natural cycles of the earth. The farm is managed in a holistic manner with all life forms and processes being respected. This approach has numerous benefits that differentiate our practices from conventional farming practices. A few examples: resources are conserved and recycled by working with, rather than against, nature; weeds and pests are seen as indicators of soil conditions rather than enemies to wage war on; and food can be consumed directly out of the garden in all of its goodness and glory without fear of chemical residues. Your involvement in this farm will simply be enjoying the delectable harvests and therefore helping sustain the farm. We raise 2 acres of diverse vegetables, herbs, flowers, berries, and mushrooms. The farm has a large flock of free-foraging hens, and a small herd of goats, sheep, and cattle, all grazing on a rotating garden system. We also have honeybees, a young orchard, a vineyard, and a berry patch as well as forests, creeks, and the cultivated gardens. We supply a 75-family CSA in Nashville, Tennessee, every Saturday during our growing season. Intern Positions Committed interns will have the opportunity to learn all aspects of operating a small, diversified farm - including seed starting, planting, cultivating, harvesting, marketing, composting, egg-collecting, cow milking, beekeeping, sheep shearing, and homesteading. We offer food staples for your own food preparation, a hearty prepared meal each day, and unlimited fresh vegetables & fruit. We have two campers and a newly renovated room in our barn for living arrangements . Two internships are typically available during the growing and harvesting seasons. The hard work you offer during your internship will come back to you multi-fold, for this work is some of the most rewarding you will ever experience.

Please call us at 270-457-2847 if you have questions as we do not have a computer on the farm (which means it could be some time before we read your email).
