It takes a lot of hands to run a CSA, and if you want to get involved, we'll be glad to have your help. We'll have specific volunteer work-days throughout the year where we'll need a lot of folks to do a job like planting garlic or harvesting winter squash. If you want to volunteer on a regular or occasional basis, just contact Jeff to figure out the best time to come.
Work Shares
Fernbrook Farm CSA offers a "workshare" program to a few shareholders every year. This is basically a trade of labor on the farm for a share. Participants commit to a set schedule and contribute 100 hours of work on the farm - harvesting, weeding, planting, helping with the farm shop and other jobs and tasks to help the farm run smoothly. Candidates should enjoy working hard in all kinds of weather and be able to commit to a set schedule. Please contact Jeff for more information.
Employment
We are looking for some farmhands for hourly fieldwork for the summer (weeding, planting, harvesting and more weeding!) If you are interested, please contact Jeff for more information.
