>              Herb Pharm is proud to offer our HerbaCulture Work/Study 
> Program on our certified organic herb farm nestled in the Siskiyou 
> Mountains of southern Oregon.
>
>The program runs from March 25th through July 19th.  Approximately 30 
>hours per week (Monday through Friday) are spent working and learning 
>farming techniques in fields, greenhouses, educational display garden, 
>landscapes and barn areas, and 10-12 hours per week are in the 
>classroom.  Work involves participation in the cultivation and harvest of 
>the over 85 medicinal herb crops grown on our farm.  Students also assist 
>in the maintenance of our 1.5 acre Herbal Education Garden and other 
>landscaped areas.  The work is hard and physical, often repetitive, and 
>the weather can be cold and wet, or very hot.  It is essential that 
>applicants be in good physical condition and mentally prepared for hard work.
>
>Classroom training involves many aspects of organic farming and 
>herbalism.  Topics include: organic farming techniques, permaculture, 
>plant identification, plant spirit medicine and the cultivation, 
>harvesting and therapeutic uses of medicinal herbs. Occasional overnight 
>trips are scheduled, including a seaweed harvesting foray. There will also 
>be local farm tours, and wild herb identification walks.
>
>Teachers include: herbalists "Herbal Ed" Smith, Deborah Frances, N.D., 
>Richo Cech, Sara Katz, Christopher Hobbs, David Bunting, James Jungwirth, 
>and Thorin Halvorson; permaculture consultants Randy Carey and Tom Ward; 
>as well as local farmers and other guest herbalists.
>
>There is no monetary fee for this program. We provide communal housing 
>with shared rooms in a large modern house on the farm.  Participants will 
>be responsible for their own food, consumable household items, 
>transportation and maintenance of our guesthouse. There is no space for 
>pets or children.
