work on a farm

Have you heard of this program? I want to go to Japan or South America to do this. But for Japan, you have to pay them for the cost of the trip/food/boarding. I heard from a friend who wants to do this in Argentina that they pay YOU. Now I really want to go! The only bad thing I can imagine happening is that I become even more brown than I already am :)

The Human Development Project works towards creating spots throughout the globe that want to collaborate our work efforts without putting each other in the leash or stranglehold that many of the worlds regimes may be attempting on us. (sado-masochist occult orders need not respond)

Appealing to natural forces, “deities”, entities, and individuals who have access to natural resources, so that we can completely free ourselves from the subjugation of our lives that many use war, global warming, or some other catastrophe as an excuse to attempt to bind us into.

Perhaps there is land and resources on this globe and/or beyond that we can compete for without having to deal with those regimes that are a threat to civil government and civil economic exchanges.

wwoofed this fall at 3 farms. One of the best experiences of my life. California is the place to do it.

I have a job on a fruit farm in NH this summer! I’m excited, because even if I don’t get into Sterling College… I’ll be doing something. Good.

I really want to live and work on a farm, somewhere warm and maybe tropical. But it has to be rual. And maybe smaller and self contained, not some huge corperate farm whore thing. Any one have any suggestions? For those who have worked on a farm, what did you do?

I did this as my work experience, it was wonderful =D

-milking demonstrations
-piglet iron injections
-tours around the farm
-feeding and clearing out the animals
-lunging the horses
...etc.

I pass by this little organic farm every day on my way to work. I’ve watched those plants grow from little seedlings to produce-bearing crops. It’s so exciting for me to see the changes in the Earth, the changes in nature. I happen to think a big flaw of our society is that in our jobs we never “see anything through”. We tend to be pieces of a job, and never the beginning to the end of it. We never see the (no pun intended) fruits of our labor. We are all incredibly unfufilled in that aspect of our lives.

I just want to nuture the Earth and live more in harmony with her.

I worked on a farm on the East Coast for two summers. It was tough work, but very rewarding. I picked strawberries, peas, beans, corn, and lettuce. I definitely got a sense for how much work it takes to grow and harvest the produce. And I got to drive a tractor. Cool.

Needmore Pennsylvania, April of 1992-April 0f 1993. Long days, beautiful nights.
Spring was all about the seeds, the greenhouse, laying irrigation and planting.
Summer was plowing fields, building electric fences,doing a weekly market, which meant rising at 3:00 am to load the van for the 2 hour drive to downtown DC. The market closed at about 6:00. Drove back, dumped compost and collapsed.
Fall was major harvesting and buying cider in huge barrels from local orchards.Planted winter wheat in the fields.Chopped wood.
Winter was all about survival. Had 3 big dogs in my bed next to the wood stove. No TV, lots of reading, NPR and knitting.
