Position summary:

Plowshare Farm is in search of a farmer with dairy, pasture care, and equipment experience, who is open to biodynamic principles, to join our farm crew and help carry our animal husbandry, dairy and meat production. Strong candidates will have experience in pasture care, grazing rotation, fencing, haying, maintenance of farm equipment, herd health oversight, and other aspects of animal husbandry.

We are specifically looking for someone whose primary task will be caring for the land and animals. (While growing into a role working with our community members with special needs is a possibility for the future, this is not our primary need.)

About Plowshare Farm:

Nestled in the woods of southern New Hampshire, Plowshare is a community of about 45 people who choose to live and work side by side, building an inclusive and sustainable community. Our farm and animals are an integral part of our community. With a small cattle herd including 2-3 milkers, sheep, layer chickens, meat birds, and usually a couple of pigs, we strive to care for our animals well while producing milk, eggs, and meat to sustain our community. (Our farm operation could grow to include other livestock if there is a need/use for it and a commitment to carry it forward.)

Plowshare is part of the worldwide Camphill movement, a movement of inclusive communities wherein people with and without developmental disabilities live and work side by side. As an Anthroposophically-based lifesharing community, we are innovators creating a model of social and ecological renewal.

I am moving myself to Maine next Spring/ Summer and in the process of closing up my micro cut flower farm in Dummerston/ Putney VT. I am renting land currently and looking for a good home for all my perennial stock that can't stay. I am not sure yet where I will be landing and transitioning my stock sounds too complicated. I would be really happy to see everything land in the hands of another farmer/ loving grower. Dummerston is located just outside Brattleboro, VT.

I have about 80 Peony Roots to dig up in multiple varieties, maybe 20 are Sarah Bernhardt and then 8-10 of each Duchesse De Nemours, Coral Charm, Itoh Pink, Kansas, and others. I can give you the full list if interested.  

My Dahlia Root stock is right now is about 80 flowering plants, I will find out how many tubers that is once I dig up post-frost. A wide mix, max 3-5 plants of any one variety. Includes Cafe Au Laits, Labyrinth, American Dawn, Burlesca, Peach Balls, White Balls, Cornel Bronze Balls, Orange Balls, Yellow Balls, Purple Balls, Black Lily , Cornel Red Balls, Lily Flowering Whites, Lily Pink, Purpley-Coral Variegated Balls, etc. I can provide a more full list if interested. 

I would offer bulk pricing as a lot for all. Numbers are approximate. I would consider selling the Peonies separate from the Dahlias. Shipping or pickup later this Fall once all dug.
