  There is plenty of field work involved including planting, bed preparation, weeding, mulching, wood chipping, pruning, and harvesting. We have a farm to doorstep delivery CSA, and we also participate in two weekly farmers' markets. . All jobs are alternated between the entire staff, and we try to place folks where they have the most experience, passion, and willingness to learn.
  
  The most important abilities are dependability, adapatability, and reliability. We can teach everything else. However, if you have experience in any of the above, that would be great!
  
  Presently we have a very comfortable 32 foot RV. There are cooking utensils, refrigerator, propane stove, and dinnerware. Overnight guests are not allowed. We prefer at least a three month commitment. We provide bedding, etc.
