Teaching New Skills and Best Practices

The Wallace Centers of Iowa offers a limited number of Farm Internships each summer at the Wallace Farm, supported by partners such as the Iowa Master Farmer Foundation. Applications are typically sought each year in February. In addition, opportunities are available for individuals or groups to volunteer in the garden at the Wallace Farm. Please call 641.337.5019.

They taught me that I don’t have to do everything right now, and that maybe I don’t have all the skills I need yet, but I can learn them. You can read all you want about (growing things), but in the end, you need to stick something in the ground. If it dies, well, you’ve learned something.”
