Education Opportunities

Shining Mountain Herbs is dedicated to the advancement of herbal knowledge and to expansion of the Medicinal Herb Industry. We, therefore, are interested in those who express a sincere desire to learn organic farming practices and seek a medicinal herb education.
Shining Mountain Herbs provides learning and “hands-on” working opportunities for motivated, experienced and in-experienced people interested in learning and sharing information about medicinal herb farming, high altitude farming, product production and formulation. A limited number of internships and herbalist guest stays are available during the spring, summer and fall at the Colorado farm facility. On-site housing is provided. Photos of our Yurt can be found in our photo gallery.
In addition to the furnished yurt, there are framed canvas tents, private outdoor showers with spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains, and a plumbed bathroom near the tent area. Kitchen facilities are also available for those staying in the framed tent accommodations. The accommodations are meant to be “rustic” but comfortable and provide those participants an opportunity to become closer to their environment and return home with memories, knowledge, and stories to share.
It's also worth noting that our area is known world wide for its natural hot springs with the closest being “Orvis Hot Springs” located about a mile away. Nearby we also have world class hiking trails, backpacking, biking, mountain climbing, and in the winter, ice climbing in nearby Ouray.
