Summer Intern

Thunder View Farms

Thunder View Farms is a family owned and operated for over 60 years in Grahamsville, NY. TVF is a cow calf direct to consumer beef operation as well as a production hay farm. The farm consists of 350 head total of registered black Angus with 140 brood cows and 120 background/ feeder cattle as well as registered bulls and heifers which are sold to other producers. We also produce all of our own feed to feed the cattle herd while producing another 40,000 small square bales to sell in the local horse hay market. Our equipment fleet is comprised of all John Deere tractors, modern implements, a Krone Big M, and we use the Bale Barron system for handling the small squares. Our farm has also won national awards for environmental stewardship which is at the fore front of our values as well. 

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for highly motivated people that are willing to work hard alongside three generations of family members and our other valued employees. We are very open to discuss our operation to make this as much of learning experience as you desire. Most days will be cattle work in the morning such as checking cows and rotating pastures followed by afternoons in the hay field producing haylage for feed or dry hay to sell.
