Applicants should have the following;
- Minimum of 18 years of age
- strong work ethic
- a fit and able body and mind (manual work is often repetitive and strenuous.)
- You must be able to work at least 5 hours a day
- excellent communication skills
- work with a task-based approach (as opposed to a time-based system). This is farming!
- Farm Tasks: Managing the nursery, chickens, goats, building compost, worm farms, weeding, planting, digging earthworks, watering, spreading compost, repairing/creating infrastructure, basically, anything that we need to get done to provide our educational training and move our permaculture projects forward.
- All volunteers must contribute to work in the community garden. There will be fresh produce for you to pick and seeds/seedlings for you to plant to replace what was used.
- When arriving, or leaving, please ensure that the times are between 8am and 8pm. If you arrive outside of those times then please wait at the Bus Station. If you leave outside of those times, please provide your own transportation as there is no one to help you outside those times.
- This is a smoke, drug, and alcohol-free farm. ( No, that doesn't mean they are free 😉 ) That doesn't mean you can't go out and have a beer or smoke. It just means you can't do it on the farm. We have children that live here and many visit. We don't want to expose them to those.
