Each growing season, we strive to ensure that 10% of our CSA membership is reserved for folks who could use extra support with weekly produce. Contribute what you can to help us continue providing this service to your community members.
Could you or someone you know use a little extra support? send us an e-mail so we can keep you on our Subsidized CSA waitlist. We strive to keep our subsidized CSA member participation discrete - no questions asked!
Accepting 2025 Work Share and Apprentice Applications
CSA Work Share:
(TWO 2025 OPENINGS) Commit to 2 hours per week and receive a 10 week CSA share in trade to wash and sanitize harvest totes and wash/pack area. This is a flexible role, requiring you to work independently for two hours on either a Sunday afternoon or anytime Monday for 10 weeks. Choose your weeks from June-October with another work trade intern. SOP training included. This is an excellent ‘foot-in-the-door’ opportunity to someone brand new to production farming or someone who just likes the satisfaction of bringing order and cleanliness to the world.
Current Apprenticeship Offerings:
Now accepting 2025 apprenticeship applications. The ideal candidate will work on the farm as a W-2 employee committing to certain days of week throughout the growing season roughly (May-October.)
This is a salaried position and is for someone who is in pursuit of a career in Organic agriculture looking to acquire a managerial skillset within a food production focused business.
Apprentices differ from part-time employees in terms of daily activities as well as working collaboratively to achieve pre-determined learning outcomes. An apprentice should want to see and understand the behind-the-scenes of a farm operation as a part of their managerial skill building.
From our personal experiences as apprentices, the only way we developed the skills needed to operate our own farm business was by holding responsibility for rotating aspects of a farm’s business and learning to carry a systems-level picture of farm operations. Apprentices will work directly with us through one-on-one learning and gain the following skills within the first year:
Tractor work: Basic operations and maintenance. Working with 3 point hitch and PTO driven implements - how to safely attach, work with, and remove them.
Farrow-to-Finish Pastured Pork Production: How to handle, feed, move, load, and manage a herd of heritage pigs on pasture. Gain comfort feeding and managing of a herd of 60-70 pigs including brood stock. (Some Grass-fed beef grazing exposure available as well)
Farmer’s Markets: Shared/rotating responsibility for bringing and selling meat, flowers, and produce to farmers markets.
MOFGA Certified Organic Vegetable and Flower Production: Experience all aspects of Organic vegetable and cut-flower production from early greenhouse work, hardening off, bed prep, Biodynamic composting and application, transplanting, and harvesting. A key focus of this apprenticeship is learning how to work with, understand, and implement a crop calendar which is the organizational brain of our farm. Gaining mastery of this spreadsheet system will allow you to replicate it or jump into a system elsewhere with confidence. It will also allow you to understand the kind of bed prep and cultivation needed for certain crops to thrive, as well as develop an understanding of farm-scale irrigation based on crop needs and weather patterns.
