The Week
We ask our apprentices to be able to work 35 hours Monday through Friday.
During the spring and summer we start work around 7:30am, break for lunch around noon, and end for the day about 4:00. If it is really hot we might take a mid day siesta, or swim in the pond and make up the time in the evening when it's a little cooler.
Apprentices have a room in the main house. There is of course no rent to pay (at least for the apprentices!). There is a small stipend though, this is not a way to save a bunch of money!
We have a washer and drier in our house, which you are welcome to use efficiently. Apprentices are welcome to use everything that we grow for their own daily use as long as we are not short on a given item for the CSA or farm account, which is usually not an issue. We have an outdoor clay-cobb bread oven, and keep a flock of laying hens.
Generally you will be responsible for off-farm groceries.
Two other details: No tobacco use on the farm, and we ask that you do not bring pets.
