Chelsea: Farming

A New York Times feature looks at farming internships by focusing on the experiences of Evan Dayringer on Tantré Farm in Chelsea: “An ant-farm level of activity thrums just below the storybook surface. Vegetables and fruits are near the picking point. Soon they’ll be taken to the packing shed to be cleaned, bunched and boxed for the organic farm’s 360 members, who receive a weekly share, as well as for the Ann Arbor and Chelsea farmers’ markets. It’s an unrelenting cycle, one that is diligently followed by Tantré’s interns, who work and often live on the farm for a season in exchange for room and board and a monthly stipend that starts at $500.” [Source]
