Job description

We are looking for individuals who are interested in helping with a start-up regenerative organic farm. We have many projects that we need assistance with such as building and watering herbs and vegetable beds, harvesting when ready, putting up fencing and fruit trees, making trails for hiking, and feeding the layer hens and meat birds. Harvest herbs for medicinal use and personal care products.

You in turn will learn the fundamental principles of regenerative agriculture, focusing on soil building techniques. You will also learn tree and herb identification and how to prepare salves, tinctures, and skin-care products. We have started a CSA program, so help is needed with that and at the farmers market.

A typical work day will begin at 8:30 am by feeding the chickens, giving them fresh clean water, and collecting eggs. Then, attend to the herbs and vegetable beds, planting, watering, and weeding as needed. Break for lunch from 12:00 to 2:00 pm. In the afternoon, continue in the beds or help with major projects for the day such as making trails, fencing, etc. The last assignment for the day would be to feed the animals at 5:00 pm, clean up the work area, and the day ends at 5:30 pm.

Some experience is helpful but not mandatory.

The volunteers can stay in our home while working with us in their own bedroom and separate bathroom. We provide two meals, brunch and dinner. Volunteers are free to make breakfast.
