Heart’s Content Organic Farmstead
ALL POSITIONS FILLED FOR 2010
We are looking for interns of all ages who have an interest in farming with horses. Our 57-acre organic farm is east of Brantford. It is a beautiful setting, right on the rail trail running from Brantford to Hamilton. We farm with our two Belgian horses, Bud and Dano, as much as possible to reduce pollution and our dependency on oil. Our philosophy on the farm is to include everyone in the running of the farm and respect everyone’s opinion, and have a little fun along the way. We sell our produce at the Brantford Farmer’s Market on Saturdays from June through to October. We are open to other marketing strategies. We have laying hens and may have sheep as four legged lawnmowers. Interns would be involved with market gardening, livestock care, helping with the hay, planting trees, and maintaining the grounds. Interns may also choose to be involved in community work related to farmland preservation and in eco-home construction.
Housing is provided in an old farmhouse with shared meals. We are currently building a second home off-grid with the intention of being an eco-health centre.
Remuneration will be provided depending upon experience.
