We recently wrapped up applications for the True Grit Farm & Flower internship opportunity, and I’ve been sitting with a deep sense of gratitude for the response.
More than 200 students and emerging professionals applied to spend part of their season with us learning about sustainable floriculture, storytelling, marketing, and mission-driven creative work.
To everyone who submitted an application, shared their experiences, or took the time to speak with us during interviews: thank you. There were so many thoughtful, intelligent, creative, and genuinely kind people throughout this process. I truly enjoyed getting to know many of you.
After much consideration, we’ve selected one candidate to join us this season. They checked so many of the boxes we were hoping for, and I’m really excited about the opportunity to work alongside her this summer.
I also want to extend appreciation to InternshipsVA and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership for supporting programs that help students and small businesses connect in meaningful ways.
One thing this process made very clear is that there are so many people looking for work that feels connected to something deeper. Work where sustainability, creativity, communication, and community can exist together.
That feels hopeful to me.
Thank you again to everyone who applied, shared the opportunity, or encouraged a student to connect with us. We’re grateful for the energy surrounding this little farm and all it’s becoming.
