To get a taste of life as an organic farmer, investigate volunteering through Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms-USA.
If you like what you experience as a volunteer, consider an internship through Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas (ATTRA). You can browse through its directory online at https://attra.ncat.org/internships.
