I am very interested in this position. Have you filled it yet? My name is Blake and I have been a farmer most of my life. I am looking for a job in the area that will advance my knowledge on organic farming and possibly biodynamic crop planting. Please call me at 765-318-0727. I have quite a bit of experience in a "kitchen" garden.

Just wanted to put a bug in your ear. You stated that you were looking for partners in Tenessee. We are located in NW GA. We are a small startup with plans of rapid growth in the next couple of years. You sound like a perfect fit for our operation. Its funny that the equipment we are in need of is what you have. Our plan is to find 50-100 acre farm next year. Somewhere near Jasper GA. Let me know if you might be interested.

Self-sustaining, off-grid residential community in the hills overlooking the Pacific near Samara, Costa Rica is looking for a young family to move to the finca and plan, implement, and maintain a large organic vegetable farm, poultry, animals, and orchards for supply of food for the community.

Experience with bio-dynamic, permaculture and, or organic crop production in tropical environments preferred. Bi-lingual ideal. Long-term opportunity to become a part of the community and be involved with the farm on a commercial scale in the future. For information about our project, visit: www.FincaLasBrisas.org

This will be a three year "sweat equity" commitment and in return for work on the farm, farm managers will receive lodging, a small stipend, and a future building lot within the community.

Serious inquiries only - this is significant opportunity
and requires a long term commitment. Strong work ethic and good people skills are important. Please send resume when contacting.

Hello,

We found your posting and were very intrigued by your project. We are a married couple in our 40s who started a small organic farm on leased acreage three years ago. We run a CSA and sell produce at our local farmers market and restaurants. What you are describing is exactly what we aspire to. Last year we tried unsuccessfully to sell our home in order to purchase a small farm so that we could live where we farm and transition to full time farming. What you are proposing could help us to achieve our life's ambition sooner. Just today we went to our greenhouse, which is unheated, and were amazed at the vegetation we were able to grow, that had been planted in early October as a test run for a year round CSA. We are trying to implement Eliot Coleman's deep organic techniques for year round vegetable production and our region in central PA would be very similar to yours, climate wise!

I read the description of your experience and would like to talk with you. Our environmental education center is starting a new project - growing vegetables year-round in greenhouses, and we are looking for the right person to plan, plant, and harvest vegetables in this setting. There are research opportunities, as well as teaching opportunities connected to this position. We have three new state-of-the-art commercial size greenhouses to fill.

Location of the job is Plymouth, IN - 45 minutes south of South Bend, IN, 2 hours from Chicago, 2 hours from Indianapolis.

If you find this minimal description interesting, please send me a note at the above email address. Thanks, Sue Rogers

We are looking for a farmer or farm couple to manage a 36 cow Jersey dairy herd, rotationally grazed and certified organic. This person would become a 50% owner in the farm LLC, which owns the herd, buildings and some machinery and rents the land from the other co-owner.

Located in the beautiful Driftless region of Southwest Wisconsin, about 15 minutes from La Crosse and 20 minutes from the progressive hub of Viroqua.

Please contact John at (954) 854-4363.

Hello,

My name is Christopher Bair. I am 26 years old, hold a Bachelors in Sustainable Ag and have several years experience working on farms. Much of my experience is in the dairy sector. I am looking for year-round employment with the possibility of taking on some management responsibility as time goes on. Interested in diversified (animal & vegetable) operations. Prefer New England or Pacific Northwest, but will consider any location. Please email me (crobertbair@yahoo.com) for more info.

This is a unique opportunity for an organic farm couple to expand and potentially take over our certified organic produce business in NE Pennsylvania. We are seeking energetic, highly motivated self-starters with extensive know-how and experience in all aspects of organic growing and marketing, composting, machinery operation and basic maintenance to manage our certified organic produce farm. Starting as salaried managers (including farmhouse, utilities, and other benefits), the managers would work to increase productivity and sales. The potential to make the business their own would follow a transition period for developing mutually beneficial goals and a compatible relationship.
Creative ideas and the practical ability to implement them, warm people skills, and a deep love of land and animals are desired. Since we are at the farm only part-time, we need mature, responsible people to run it as if it were, and might become, their own. The job also entails caring for our two western horses, one pony, two Nubian goats, chickens, ducks, and four affectionate barn cats as well as maintaining grounds, buildings, and equipment.
Currently, we produce and sell a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, flowers and eggs from our pastured ducks and heritage chickens to on-farm customers, farmers market, restaurants, and health food stores. We would love to start a CSA if our new managers are experienced in organizing and running one. Other possibilities for expanding our small business include fruit trees, berries and other small fruits, medicinal herbs, mushrooms, forest garden, and high tunnels for year-round production. Our six established beehives are productive, and we would like to resume production of maple syrup. We are interested in discussing any ideas people have for enhancing the beauty, quality of life, and productivity of the farm with the sole exception of raising animals for food.
The farm, located near Susquehanna, PA (½ hour southeast of Binghamton, NY, and 1 hour northeast of Scranton, PA) is nestled in a lovely valley, surrounded by rolling hills and adjoining 8000 acres of PA state gameland on two sides. Two cold water streams meander through it, and there is a small stream-fed pond for boating and swimming and some wetland areas. Birds, small mammals, and other wildlife abound. Our 200 acres are half forest, half pasture. with a 2-1/2 acre garden area that is expandable but best suited to intensive planting. Farm buildings include: a large barn, machinery shed, stable, chicken house, maple syrup house with modern evaporator, root cellar, roadside stand, packing shed, and a 26' x 28' greenhouse for starting transplants and raised bed growing. We have a complete line of farm and garden equipment and tools. There are two separate residences: the managers’ modern farmhouse and our cabin, which are 1/4 mile apart.
It has been a labor of love, developing the original farm, which we purchased 42 years ago, from an abandoned overgrown former dairy farm into the beautiful productive sanctuary that it is today. In addition, there are another 100 acres 2-1/2 miles up the road, just over the NY state line, that are half hayfields and half wild blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Both properties are protected in perpetuity by conservation easements that allow limited building for agricultural and/or environmental purposes. We are currently holding discussions with a land trust regarding its potential future ownership of the properties as well as with faculty from two leading universities about making part of the land available for environmental and agricultural research. The farm also provides a beautiful setting for farming and environmental workshops for children and adults, nature writing and art workshops, and programs in the healing arts, such as yoga, t'ai chi, and meditation. Our goal is to create an entity that combines organic farming, environmental and agricultural research, and outreach programs.
Although a land trust may own the land, we hope to transfer the farm business to younger farmers, perhaps through a long term lease of farmable land and buildings. We, our children, and our grandchildren would continue to enjoy the property while helping to facilitate the new entity. If you share our enthusiasm about this project, please send a resume and letter about your interests and goals to Shary and Gary Skoloff: sskoloff@comcast.net We look forward to hearing from you.

I tried contacting you about this yesterday, but am not sure if it went through. If you are still looking for help with your market garden and haying, please contact me.

Thanks,
Brett

Farm Life Ecology: A Field and Table Intensive at Green Mountain College.

This 13-week, 12-credit summer farm intensive immerses student in the theory, sweat, and rhythms of managing a small-scale, highly-diverse farm. Students live on the farm and will have the opportunity to learn about organic vegetable production, animal husbandry, and draft power. Classroom sessions are closely integrated with fieldwork to give students the why and how of sustainable farming. To provide a broader perspective, regular field trips are taken to many of the innovative and dynamic farms found in Vermont. Students will be able to learn what the future of organic farming systems could look and feel like and how they can be part of a growing movement to bring back the small family farm. Best of all, students live off the farm by consuming farm-fresh milk, vegetables and eggs.

Sidi Limehouse - Rosebank Farm, Johns Island Jan 2010

Hey-o. In case you folks wish to retire
or want to run a Wellness Center in a
rain forest setting that is 63km
from Manila (one hour drive),
this is certainly it.

Los Banos, Laguna
Elevation : 1,000 meters ASL.
Fruit trees : Rambutan, lanzones,
citrus, coconuts.
Annual income: PHP100,000+.
Improvements : a) 2-bedroom house (atop a hill)
b) Mountain springs water
c) No electricity
d) 100 meters from mountain road
e) 5km from UPLB Forestry Gate (Station 1)
Price : PHP1,300,000

No taxes to be paid (capital gains, realty, income)
on Homestead Patent (Commonwealth Land Act 456).

I own 11.25 acres in Purcellville VA and in my third year of development of a organic market garden/farm. We have a population here that will buy most everything we can produce, as you may know from working in NOVA.

I have grown aspargus,tomatoes, pumpkins,beans,herbs,sweet corn,greens,potatoes,and orchard grass and clover hay for horses.

I would like to incorporate more of the farm generated fertility and cover crop ideas. I would also like to grow more fruit.

I am looking for help to build and manage high tunnels for berry production, plant and harvest greens in low tunnels and manage marketing to local Farmers Markets that I have contact with.

I would be interested in discussing your goals and interests. I would pay a salary and provide profit sharing. I can provide housing as well.

Working on Heartwood farms is a unique experience because not only do you get to experience working with people dedicated to growing food in a way that benefits the environment, in a beautiful setting, but you also get to see what it is like to live in a close knit community. You will have dinner at the common house three a week where you can meet and get to know many members of the 24 household cohousing community. You can interact with the children, talk with elders, and ask questions about what it is like to live in a different sort of neighborhood. The Friday night community meals are potlucks. You and the other interns will make a dish to share with the community and have dinner together with some of the Heartwood Cohousing residents. These are usually smaller meals and a really nice time to get to know other people from many different walks of life.
Interning on a farm is hard work. You will not have set hours and will need to work when the work needs to get done. But you will also have time off. Time to sit around a campfire and talk or play music, time to explore the 361 acres that is Heartwood or the natural beauty surrounding Durango. We want this internship to have the potential to be a life changing experience for you. You will be working with the soil, the land, the animals, and getting to know other people in a way that isn’t possible on a organic farm not tied to a community.
You will be living in a tent, using a composting toilet, showering outdoors, and living in pretty primitive conditions. You will also have access to a beautiful common house that contains guest rooms (in case someone you know wants to visit), ping pong, foosball, a nice kitchen, a hearthroom with a lending library, and a home theater for watching movies. We also have a trail system for walking and mountain biking as well as a tennis court that you are welcome to take advantage of.
We can offer you basic staples for cooking and any food grown on the farm. We will also pay for your two community meals other than the potluck each week.
We are looking for people who are willing to commit 3-8 months of their life to learning what it takes to grow good organic fruit and vegetables in a sustainable and integrated way, and who want to see what it is like to live a different lifestyle from mainstream America . We need someone who likes to work hard and have fun. A sense of humor and a positive attitude are always appreciated.
If this sounds like you and the type of experience you are looking for, please give me a call or email me at sandy@heartwoodcohousing.com and tell me a little about yourself and why you want to intern with Heartwood Farms. We will also need to know your strengths and weaknesses, as well as when you would be available to be here and how long you can stay.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

In community,

Sandy Thomson
Intern Liaison

Hello - I'm interested - if the position is still available, please email me.

Hi,

My name is Cassandra Reed and after seeing your ad would be very interested in more information on the farm house and land for sale. My boyfriend and I are currently living in Indiana and are looking for the perfect place in Pennsylvania or New York to move and settle down. We are interested in starting a small-scale organic farm to start and possibly opening a restaurant near by. We are hoping to buy a house and move in about a year from now, but would consider moving sooner if we could work out a land contract. Would that be something you were interested in? Also, do you have any pictures of the property? Regarding the land, has it been used for farming recently and, if so, what kind of farming?

I look forward to your response. Thanks and take care.

Cassandra

Hello. I'm looking to rent my grandmother's farmhouse to someone who would also be able to use the surrounding land (maybe 3 or 4 acres) and outbuildings. The house has 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a basement. There are several outbuildings, some are in better shape than others. They could easily be converted to house some animals. The house is in great shape but work would need to be done on some of the outbuildings.

The property is 3.5 miles from the nearest city, which is Lincoln, IL in Logan County. Lincoln is about 3 hours from Chicago and two hours from St Louis, right in the middle of the state.

Ideally, I would love to rent the property to someone who is interested in starting a large scale garden (there is a local farmer's market twice a week in the summers) or something along those lines. The property has been in my family for over 150 years and I'd love to see it be farmed with sustainable methods again.

Please email me with further questions.
