Organization: Mossy Banks Farm
Location: Duncan, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Want some hands-on experience at farming? I a
m looking for an individual or
couple interested in working on a mixed, organic, Permaculture-based farm for
the winter, and possibly longer. Must be interested in working with animals,
vegetable gardens and food forests. Also, an interest in maple tree tapping and
syrup making would be useful, as we tap up to 20 trees in the winter and make
our own syrup. Some building skills a plus but not required. Must be willing to
work hard but also ready to learn how much fun farming can be. Must be a team
player yet able to work independently. Extensive library with farming,
gardening and Permaculture books available to workers.
Accommodations include your own room, shared bathroom and shared kitchen with
many communal meals. 36 hours a week required until end of November, then fewer
hours during quiet season, until February when seeding and garden prep begin.
One to two days off a week to be negotiated to meet everyone’s needs. Farm is
close to Duncan, an agricultural town in the heart of Vancouver Island, with
hiking areas nearby.
Please reply only if seriously interested. Call Lynn at 250 597 3513 evenings
