Gotta Garden?   Food First?

Free Permaculture training !

It takes a Village to Farm.

What’s so hard about Farming?  Everything comes before You, Animals, seedlings, impending weather prep. Everything the industrial machine protects you from.

Gardening is a Fun, rewarding Group Sport. Every day is different. Can you hang in  from seed to fruit, nurturing daily, bringing into the Kitchen, sorting, serving, selling, seed saving?  When your self employed, you quit when it’s done, not at the whistle. When the weather changes, we change.

Kitchen is a Crucible

Large, Established Organic farm invites members to join in year round gardening for market and farm guests. Diverse farmscape, many established plantings of fruits, nuts and medicinal plant production. Lots of tools, tractors, buildings. Private, not too remote, one hr to town w shops/ culture.

Plan on staying on farm. Outside paying work is not a plan. Many streams of income here. Va zone 7 has warm days, cool nights. Winter Sun has your hat and gloves off by 10am. Cold days are great in any of many hoop houses. Lots of on farm water, river, water body, irrigation systems,  Yes ! Rain.! Owners/operators are grunt workers without gov subsidy or trust fund. We have everything but more hours in the day.

Spring Bud Break !

Daily careing and handling of goats and milk, pigs, rabbits, ducks. harvesting Ash trees as we witness their extinction. Processing farm products for value added. Prep and pack for Farmers Mkts. Clearing roads of brush. Gleaning wine grapes and chestnuts.
