We value a healthy work environment. The season starts with a paid all staff training day, so everyone enters the season understanding the full farm plan and operations. We offer paid time off and paid registration for educational workshops offered by NOFA-VT/ Rural Vermont/ etc. Our staff facilities include both indoor and outdoor eating areas, indoor bathroom with hot water hand washing sink, indoor shower, microwave, refrigerator, and staff lockers. Crew are provided work gloves, sunscreen, Bluetooth speaker for greenhouse seeding, and walkie-talkies (though most folks prefer to use their own cell phones for crew communications).

We produce seven acres of certified organic vegetables in Plainfield, Vermont for local and regional wholesale markets. We produce vegetables in a mix of row crop and market garden production, using a diverse range of tools, tractors, and equipment. We specialize in production of root crops and fall radicchios. We strongly encourage queer, trans, female- identifying, and BIPOC folks to apply. Tamarack Hollow is a woman- run farm and does not tolerate misogyny, bigotry, or disrespect based on identity, body type, or abilities.

Each day starts with a crew meeting to discuss tasks and break into teams. We practice a worker- led management style, where after discussion of the weeks’ tasks, folks break into teams according to their interests and strengths. We respect our employees time and stop firmly at 4 pm. Crew are not asked to work more than 40 hours a week, but will be paid time and a half if they do. Agreed upon hours will not be cut against the will of an employee (barring a major market failure or weather disaster), but employees are sometimes offered the opportunity to go home early if tasks are finished. Field crew are encouraged to develop new skills, learn equipment maintenance, and develop agricultural projects of their own.

We work Monday through Friday from 8- 4, with a 40 minute paid lunch break. Harvest days may start earlier during the high heat.Compensation: $15 hourly minimum starting wage for field positions- higher with experience and commitment.

A strong application would include an introductory letter detailing why agriculture in general and this farm in particular appeals to you.

WANT TO LEARN TO PARTICIPATE LESS IN CONSUMERISM, GROW AND MAKE YOUR FOOD AND CLOTHES, WORK HARD ALL DAY AS PART OF AN ECOSYSTEM ON ONE PIECE OF LAND AND SEE HOW YOUR ACTIONS IMPACT THE ENVIRONMENT? THEN YOU MIGHT LIKE TO WORK ALONGSIDE US ON OUR HOMESTEAD AS AN APPRENTICE OR A WEEKEND IMMERSION PARTICIPANT. CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE FOR DETAILS: thehandspuncow.com
We are a working homestead in Central Vermont. We are looking for people who are interested in continuing to help us create an educational homestead that teaches participants about a land ethic and finding humans' place within the ecosystem. The focus is on working the land based on this ethic. This includes eating and preparing food and making clothing bioregional (mostly from the land). We believe learning happens best with a little bit of instruction and a lot of repetition and hands-on practice.
We teach practical and sustainable homesteading skills through immersion programs, including apprenticeship programs and weekend intensives. Participants will help with animal husbandry (including milking), cheese making, low-impact gardening, making hay with a scythe, and wood-fired cooking. Additional skills such as soap making, natural dyeing, basket weaving, preparing wool, spinning, and knitting are also available upon participants’ requests.
Apprenticeship Program:
For those who are interested in a longer-term educational experience, the apprentice program may be for you. It involves immersion into the daily routines, work, and problem solving of a real homestead operation. We expect a minimum of a three-month commitment (with the ability for the apprentice to stay longer if desired), the results of which are a much more practical hands-on and day-to-day understanding of real and sustainable homesteading life.

Apprentices are expected to work 6-8 hours per day, 5 days a week, and on all homestead tasks in trade for room, board and educational opportunities.

Each apprentice will have his or her own primitive house and will share a communal structure where meal cooking will take place.

Weekend Immersion:
This is an opportunity to experience the homestead for a weekend, the principle focus of which will be cheese making, milking and whatever else the season has to offer.
We want to participate in the monetary system as little as we can, but hosting other people takes resources and energy, so we will ask participants/visitors to either work trade or pay sliding scale $80-120/weekend.
