The farm is in need of extra hands during the 2011 season. We are willing to trade shares for labor.

Available: 2-3 slots OPEN

Application Deadline: April 30, 2011 or until filled

Requirements:

• we will do work shares for large or standard full season shares
• work share participants agree to work on a consistent schedule
• a work session would average 3-4 hours in length as scheduled
• standard shares would work 55 total hours, large shares work 80 total hours
• participants would agree to attend a 'training' session that is not included in the total hours
• work share members would need to be able to do potentially strenuous manual labor in less than optimal weather conditions

Potential Tasks:

• In field - weeding, planting, harvesting, mulching, fencing, cages, etc.
• Processing - washing, sorting, packaging of harvested produce prior to distributions
• Distribution - staffing the distribution table during CSA distributions or performing delivery tasks to direct sales.

Schedule:

• We request that Sundays not be a part of the schedule and prefer to keep our weekends open (free of off-farm workers) so we can have the opportunity to be with family.
• We prefer that a sizable part of the time at the farm be spent prior to the evening hours.

We are hopeful that we can pair up with persons who are interested in coming to or working with the farm on a consistent schedule. This will allow us to plan for and best utilize the help we receive.

We ask that all applicants remember that we do live on the farm and our resources an not unlimited. We strive to be understanding and fair with those who work for/with us and we ask for similar consideration from our workers as well.
