The Work Share
*** Unfortunately we are only able to offer a limited amount of work-shares each season and have already filled our workshare slots for this year. Thanks to everyone for their interest! This doesnt mean you can’t still come help out. We also have full and half shares available – check them out!
Blue Rock Farm offers a small number of produce shares in exchange for four hours of work per week. Tasks will involve getting dirty! Varys from day to day. This season we will be doing a lot of: harvesting, washing, packing and weeding!
Do you have to be a certain age to come help? My son is 10, and I think helping out on a farm would be a great experience for him (and a great experience for me too!)
