Sacred Sun Farm is a diverse organic farm nestled amongst the rolling hills of Jefferson County, just north of Lawrence, Kansas. We grow a wide range of vegetables, fruits, grains, medicinal and culinary herbs for our Farm Share/ CSA and Farmers Market in KC. With roughly 3 acres into vegetable production each year, we work closely with the soil, plants and animals to find balance and create a reciprocal and sustainable relationship of respect and care. We are committed to nurturing our deep connection to the Earth by tending and mending our relationships through these observations and growing practices.
Fun fact: Jess and Jake met through Growing Growers in 2008, long before Sacred Sun Farm ever existed. They went their separate ways after that year, but were connected again in 2012 and decided to start their own farm (and family!) together.
We are looking for a few interns for the growing season! Please see our website for more details. click here
Our internships include working closely with Jess and Jake to learn the many different moving parts of a small scale vegetable farm. Most of our farm tasks are done by hand such as, planting, weeding, mulching, trellising, harvesting and packing, which places us in an intimate connection with the land and plants. Sometimes the tasks at hand can be repetitive, difficult or monotonous, and sometimes the tasks are playful, creative and full of ease. We have learned that farming is a commitment to show up for whatever is in need of care, and that is what we expect of our interns as well.

We are working on finding creative solutions to help get you local and nutritious food during these strange times. The Farmer's Markets are creating spaces where physical distancing and sanitation can be observed and we are getting our items up on the site to do online ordering.
