We are located in the Harlem Valley adjacent to the last stop on the Metro-north train to NYC, a bicycle path and miles of woodland and state park.

We are looking for folks with a passion for farming, food justice issues, herbal medicine and at lease on year of CSA farming experience, spanish speaker a plus.
We are offering a free sunny room in our fully renovated art barn, shared kitchen and bathroom space with 5 food ju stice activists. It includes a swimming pond and a small fruit orchard. All food needs are covered by the farm food budget and all farm income after expenses will be split with the other full time farmer as a stipend.
