“My interest in learning more about agriculture drew me to GreenStone. This interest sparked after meeting an incredible family of Latino farmers in Michigan that demonstrate a strong work ethic and true passion for what they do. As a college student pursuing a career in accounting, I thought that this would be the perfect internship to apply for.”
“What stood out to me was GreenStone’s focus on mentorship and collaboration. Learning from experienced professionals in a dynamic environment is an incredible opportunity to grow. It’s exciting contributing to and strengthening a brand that cares so much about their interns’ development.”
“I was interested in the hands-on projects I would be working on, and the amount of support available to be received throughout the internship. I liked the balance between getting the help I need to learn and grow while being autonomous.”

“The unique part of working in a smaller branch is the support we provide for each other in addition to our customers. There are times when we lean on each other and help each other in order to make something happen. We all have learned a lot that way, and I think it just goes to show what we’ll do to go the extra mile for our customers.”
“The new model we have been employing here at GreenStone is to be more adaptive, setting our initial goals for the project at the start but empowering the team to make decisions and trust them to get the work done to achieve our vision and deliver value.”
“One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to meet producers and hear their stories. I enjoy finding ways we can help them to continue to successfully run their operation into the next generation!”

Outreach & Sponsorships
Engaging, educating, and empowering the communities we serve.
At GreenStone, being a part of our rural communities means actively supporting the people and places we serve. Through our dedicated team members and association-wide efforts, we invest time and resources in organizations aligned with four key focus areas we believe in.
Agriculture Advocacy, Customer and Industry Relations, and Producer Leadership Development and Education
We promote education on the importance of agriculture to the broader public and support programs that strengthen producer leadership and education, customer relationships, and industry development that benefit our members and their operations.
Young, Beginning, & Small Farmers
We invest in initiatives that reduce financial barriers, expand educational opportunities, and encourage diversity — helping the next generation of farmers sustain agriculture and rural communities.
Through our CultivateGrowth initiative, we offer loans, grants, mentorship, and educational opportunities to young, beginning, and small farmers to encourage diversity in the industry. This investment helps the next generation of farmers sustain an agricultural operation and support the rural communities they live and work in.
Youth Education & Agriculture Awareness
We’re proud to support programs that educate future generations, foster industry leadership, and grow awareness of agriculture through funding, resources, and volunteer efforts.
Rural Community Engagement
We partner with local organizations and our members to improve quality of life, build dynamic communities, and advance our mission of serving rural America through the Member Grown Outreach program.
We support local and regional organizations to build vibrant communities.
One of our CoreFour Values is to get involved. We’re always interested in engaging in sponsorship opportunities with organizations that can help support the development of our rural communities. If this is also a part of your organization’s mission, we invite you to complete our sponsorship request form.
