| Internship Highlights | Wyatt interns at Eagle Farms. |
| What are your goals? | "Some of the goals that I set for myself include, learning about the business portion of running a farm, being more involved with the farm outside of the summer, and growing my knowledge of what it takes to run a farm in general. It takes more time, especially this time of year where not much is goin on crop wise, to get your business entities in tact."\r\n |
| What have you learned? | "The most important aspect of my internship has been the professionalism that I have learned. It is important to be professional even on a farm because the way that you present yourself to people matters. As a farmer, you are almost never dressed professionally, but there are other ways to present yourself as a professional and how it helps you in the long run to present yourself in a professional and good manner when meeting someone." |
A huge thank you to Eagle Farms and the Holyoke School District for allowing this partnership to happen and our students to learn and grow.
