Description
Freight Farms is a modular farming startup company that is working to create local foodsupply at a commercial volume. Freight Farms introduces a scalable farming platform

We are a small team with a congenial work environment where work and play are both
valued.
Freight Farms seeks an intern with experience in writing, public relations and social
media, preferably within a startup environment. We are looking for an open-minded

intern will bring experience and new ideas to the company, and will be willing to take on
a variety of tasks as needed, in addition to ongoing projects specific to communications.

Farms.
Responsibilities
The primary responsibilities of the Communications intern will include writing pressreleases for company events and updates, and managing company outreach to the public

relevant journalists, and help expand our network of journalists who have worked with
Freight Farms. The Communications intern will manage the company’s social media
presence, including Facebook and Twitter, and write posts for the company blog. Freight
Farms is a small startup company, so the intern will also be expected to help in other
areas of the business as needed, including sales, marketing and operations.
