Broad Branch Farm - Farm Therapy

The vegetable growing and marketing takes more than a little help and we have positions available here on the farm. Positions are now available for 2009. Work begins in April and is available through November. We can be very flexible with your schedule. Our positions are full or part-time. The farm is quite busy until November so we can keep more than one person busy until then. Late summer/fall work involves lots of harvesting, preparing weekly vegetable boxes, and always some garden work.

Experience is not necessary – but a good work ethic and positive attitude is a must. Some of our best workers have never worked on a farm or gardened at all. Last year brought us many devoted, hard working individuals and we look forward to working with new and familiar faces this year. It is our goal to provide a positive learning environment for our employees.

Here are just a few things you may learn or do at the farm:

Learn organic soil management and improvement techniques
Learn weed and pest management in an organic garden
Prepare soil for planting
Seed a crop in the field
Transplant seedlings into field

Harvest crops
