Compensation, room and board and stipend. Amount of stipend will depend on availability. Community Farm 103 Amenia Union Rd. We dream of using horses someday, but acknowledge the usefulness of our two small tractors. Vegetable crops are our livelihood, and we strive for quality in what we produce.
All farmers live together in the farmhouse.
Living space is shared, meals are vegetarian, cooking and cleaning are cooperative, and all are expected to participate in the daily tasks of the household. We wish to develop community on the farm as well as with our member families. We are looking for someone with experience using and maintaining machinery in organic crop production to work with the farmer as we expand and develop our farming system. The assistant grower will be responsible for much of the field operations such as soil preparation, planting and incorporating cover crops, making compost, and management of fallow lands, as well as general tasks like planting, cultivating, harvesting and washing. The assistant grower position is a prime opportunity for young farmers to gain managment experience without the risk of starting a new operation.
