Positions – Vermont Youth Conservation Corps
VYCC believes in the power that food has to connect us with the land, our community, and each other. On the farm, young people engage in organic vegetable farming. Produce grown by Corps Members is distributed to more than 400 families through the Health Care Share project-- a public health initiative that connects Vermont families to locally-grown produce through their medical provider.
Production Crew Members spend every day working either in the farm fields, washing and packing produce, or in the kitchen processing and cooking with the most recent harvest.
Production Crew Members participate in all the parts of an organic farm production system, including seeding, transplanting, weed management, harvesting, animal care and farm stand support. They will also learn technical farm skills, such as small equipment operation, high tunnel production, irrigation setup and harvest of sensitive crops.
