Work The Farm
The farm doesn't need an audience. It needs hands, for a week, doing something that stays done.
Plant
Put Something In The Ground
Beds, borders, windbreaks, orchard rows. Some of it feeds people this season. Some of it will outlive everyone who planted it.
Tend
Keep It Alive
Weeding, mulching, pruning, irrigating, staking after weather. The unglamorous half, and the half that decides whether any of it works.
Harvest
Bring It In
Picking starts early because the fruit and the weather say so. Some goes to breakfast, some to the kitchen, some to neighbours, some into jars.
Restore
Undo Some Damage
Clearing invasive growth, opening drainage, salvaging steel and shade cloth from the old orchid houses, building soil where there was gravel.
Make
Make Something That Remains
Benches, gates, drying racks, a wall, a path, a shade house. Weeks often end with something physical that the next group will use.
Return
Return To It
Work is recorded — what was planted, where, and by whom. When your group comes back, that is the first walk we take.
Work is collaborative and led by the farm team. It varies with season, weather, crop and the stage of each project; nothing here is a fixed hourly commitment.
