trainees for this season and we are open to applicants that may not

$800.00 / month to $1,200.00 / month + free housing + free utilities

Thanks for your interest and please let us know if you wish to

Subject: Sunnyside Farms - Apprenticeship Opportunity



Dear Applicant / Interested party,



Good morning.



You are receiving this email because you have contacted us expressing
interest in participating in an apprenticeship opportunity at
Sunnyside Farms in Washington, VA. As you might be aware, we are a
100% certified organic farm located in Rappahannock County, VA. We
sell our products both at farmers' markets in Northern Virginia,
Washington, D.C., and Maryland as well as to wholesale buyers in the
same region.



This email contains all information related to our apprenticeship
programs available for the 2007 season. Reference to work, stipend,
accommodations, time off, and other questions are included here.
Please feel free to send along any other questions you may have.



As a matter of clarification, we have partners that would help us
process visas for foreign trainees. Please consider that fees linked
to visa processing or expenses related to air fare and ground
transportation would be the sole responsibility of the trainee.
Furthermore, foreign trainees are required by law to retain their own
medical insurance, regardless of workers' compensation coverage
provided by host.



Apprenticeship Program / Trainee Profile



- Program Duration.- I have 6 openings available for this
upcoming season. We need trainees between April and October 2007;
however, we can take trainees in for shorter periods of time, our
peak season is June through September so that is the time when we
need most help. Please indicate which time frames are available to
you so we can discuss if we can work with those.

- Stipend.- stipend includes free lodging, free utilities
(we don't cover phone usage), a free quota of farm produce, and
$1,200.00 / month. You are responsible for disposing of your own
trash; however, there are 2 county landfills that will accept
household trash at no charge.

- Schedule.- work starts at 7 a.m. every morning (everybody
is expected at the office 5 minutes prior to 7 a.m. to discuss daily
activities); work ends at 5 p.m. with the exception of 2 days / week
in the summer during which work extends from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Furthermore, if a task is not finished and it needs to be done then
you are not allowed to leave work until said task is over or
supervisor has granted permission to punch out. There is a 15 minute
break at 10 a.m. and a 30 minute break at 12 p.m. Those are the only
2 breaks available to every intern / trainee on a daily basis. There
is only 1 day off per week and it will be assigned by supervisor upon
arrival.

- Work Description.- It is overly important for me to
emphasize that this apprenticeship program is very physical.
Trainees / interns are required to work 60 – 65 hours per week. This
represents 6 days of work and 1 day off per week. All this work is
field work, physical work, it doesn't include office work or special
research projects off the field. Interns / trainees will have the
opportunity to visit and work at farmers' markets based on scheduling
provided by host. Please note that schedules may change and
participation in farmers' markets is not guaranteed for every
intern / trainee every week. Furthermore, our busiest season starts
in April and ends in December. Please keep in mind that the months
of April, November, and December are known to be wintery in our area,
this means temperatures may be freezing and work would still continue
so long as weather permits. It is important to keep in mind that you
would experience how hard it is to be a farmer and this is
experienced in the field, both in the winter and the summer. Work
description follows:

o Vegetable production.- this includes seeding and
transplanting plugs in the propagation house; preparing soil mix,
watering plants, and transplanting into greenhouses and fields.
Vegetable production also includes manual soil amendment with compost
produced at the farm, hand-weeding and tool weeding, setting up
irrigation systems, harvest, curing (when applicable), washing,
packing, and storing products. Since we are a year-round farm,
trainees / interns will have the opportunity to grow vegetables that
do well in hot and cold weather. On any given year we grow around 50
different short cycle vegetables and you would have the opportunity
to assist in the production of these.

o Cut Flowers.- we grow and sell cut flowers at our farmers'
markets. Work on these would include seeding, transplanting, weeding,
harvest, and bunching of flowers.

o Tree fruit and brambles.- we grow apples, Asian pears,
cherries, strawberries, peaches, blackberries, and raspberries. By
the time you arrive (April), all major winter work will be finished
(pruning). All maintenance work related to tree health (product
applications to prevent disease) will be performed by year round
staff we have available at Sunnyside. Your experience with these
crops will essentially be harvest and packing in ready-to-sell
containers.

o Eggs.- we have a flock of 1,000.00 layers. We harvest,
wash, and pack eggs on a daily basis. Layers need to be cared for
every day. They are fed, their water is changed, they are turned out
and into their hen houses during the day and night, and they are also
fed leftover vegetables and fruit from farmers' markets.

o Other livestock.- we used to have goats, broilers, horses,
and pigs. We have now simplified our operation into the 4 previous
categories. If you are looking to gain experience with livestock
then we may not be your best choice.

o Product preparation.- we sell our products at 7 – 8 Northern
Virginia and DC area farmers' markets. We also sell our products
wholesale to restaurants in the metro DC area. Trainees / interns
would assist in washing, packing, and staging orders and markets for
delivery.

o Farmers' Markets.- trainees / interns will be allowed to
help at farmers' markets in any schedule host determines. Schedule
may also change and there is no guarantee that you'll be attending a
market every week.

o Miscellaneous Activities.- as any farm, we have many
miscellaneous activities going on which may not directly relate to
production (e.g. cleaning different areas of the farm, new projects,
etc). You will also collaborate on these projects as they are
assigned by host.

- Accommodations.- as stated earlier, these are provided to
you free of charge. HOWEVER, you are responsible for maintaining
absolute cleanliness and order in the accommodations provided to you,
both in your personal space as in common use areas. Your supervisor
will make a monthly visit to inspect state and cleanliness of
accommodations. The kitchen, floor, cooking surfaces, tables,
chairs, refrigerators, bathrooms, and all common areas must be clean
upon inspection. As a different subject, during the summer months
air conditioning MUST be turned off during working hours. Although
air conditioning is available at accommodations provided, you are
expected to keep it off during working hours and only keeping it on
when you are going to be in the house. This is an attempt to avoid
spending money unnecessarily. If you wish to keep units on all day
then you may proceed, but you will be billed for those expenses.



Finally, for your application to be considered you must:

- Email current resume.

- Please indicate any food allergies or any allergies you
may have (e.g. bee stings, etc.). Also, indicate if you have any
medical conditions worth considering. It is important for us to know
if there are any circumstances that may trigger or worsen existing
medical conditions. Furthermore, a basic understanding of this
situation will help us out should there be an emergency that requires
medical attention. Please be thorough on this topic. This
information WILL NOT be considered in the selection process, it will
be filed and kept confidential for use on your behalf and only if
needed.

- Sign attached Company Policy document (e-signature
allowed; reply email with a statement of acceptance of all conditions
is considered a signature from your part).

- Also, please note that all trainees / interns are retained
as consultants by The Cole Family Foundation DBA Sunnyside
Institute. This means we don't collect taxes from your wages and
that you may not expect a W-2 form to file for your taxes. You are
solely responsible for filing your taxes. As a hired consultant you
can expect a W-1099. By accepting this apprenticeship you forever
release The Cole Family Foundation DBA Sunnyside Institute from any
claims related to filing or paying your taxes.



Thanks for your interest in our program and we hope we can work with
you this year. My contact information, should you need it, is:

Motorola and IBM in Austin, Texas have TG people working for them. IBM has 100 employees who have transitioned (this is worldwide of course). Just this year three people have transitioned on the job in Austin. These companies are very accommodating to TG employees.

John Calvin Coolidge, Jr., the 30th President of the United
States (1923-1929), said "The business of America is business".

It is my personal belief that any transperson that can help a

to do so.

It makes dollars, and it makes sense !
