Farm Experience
Farm Experiences will essentially make you a "Farmhand for a Day"; we offer 1/2 day (5 hours), whole day (10 hours),
or internships (based on contract). We will teach you what you need to know, bring a good pair of leather gloves, close-toed
shoes (boots preferable) and be ready for some hard work!!
Breakfast and lunch are provided as well as water and other refreshing beverages. Kids under 15 are welcome, but must be
accompanied by a parent at all times.
Pay for non-interns is $8/hr in the form of a Farm Voucher. You can come work several days and save up vouchers for big
purchases (beef share, turkey) or spend them on small items such as produce or eggs.
Job starts at day-break!!
Below we have listed some of the jobs around the farm and what they require; you can let us know what you are interested in and
we will plug you into 1 or more areas. Some jobs are season depended, we will let you know what is available as we get you
setup for your Experience!
