Because of our diversity here on the farm, volunteers have the opportunity to engage in learning different growing methods, weeding and insect control, composting, maintenance and repair of equipment and infrastructure, bee keeping, and of course, how to organically grow many varieties of fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs.

Help is needed from March 1st to at least the end of October. We ask all volunteers to commit to a minimum of two months during this timeframe, working a minimum of four hours a week. In exchange for every four hours of work, you will receive the equivalent of a CSA share (whatever is available for harvest at that time).

Job tasks will involve every aspect of food production, to include ground preparation, planting seeds, transplanting seedlings, cultivating, weeding, watering, harvesting, and preparation of produce for markets and customers. You may be asked to perform physically demanding and repetitive tasks ranging from pulling/pushing wagons/carts loaded with vegetables/produce, to digging holes for tree planting. You may also be asked to work in varied kinds of weather. However, we do try to work inside on cold days if there is work to do inside. On days forecast to be 90 degrees or above, we start as early as 7:00 am in order to harvest veggies that are not heat tolerant.

We seek individuals with a good sense of humor who enjoy working hard, and who are excited to learn how plants grow and how to care for plants. We want people who are responsible, dependable and flexible. You must be able to clearly follow instructions, and not be afraid to ask questions or be afraid to make mistakes. We seek people who are able to work independently, as well as with others comfortably. Clear verbal communication is a must.

Because we work very closely with each other and with our customers, good personal hygiene is essential. People who smoke or use tobacco products need not apply as contact with nicotine adversely affect some plants.
