20Feb09

We are seeking individuals who have a keen desire to learn about growing food organically by doing, who are interested in building
friendships and community, who are enthusiastic, curious and
open to new ideas. We expect hard work, commitment to the
vision of the CSA, and the ability to work as part of a larger team.
The CSA garden team is made up of five interns and three CSA
farmers (Heather Lekx, Donald Bowyer, and Carl Leslie), and
volunteers. We will be working closely together over the season
and aim to make this a healthy and challenging experience.
