Part of our mission is to educate folks about sustainable agricultural practices, the natural environment and responsible uses of open space.

We believe that asking members for a modest amount of work on the farm is one manifestation of this goal. Regular working members are asked to put in 12 hours of work over the course of the season. One might work on administrative tasks, harvest, distribution or garden tending depending on one’s ability and inclination. Children accompanying adults are welcome, as we believe they should engage in meaningful work and have a first hand understanding of where food comes from. Five no-work shares are available. A small number of work intensive shares are offered (60 or 30 hours/ per season) for people who have an interest in being more deeply involved in growing practices. Work intensive members must apply and be interviewed by the farmer.

We have had positive feedback from members and volunteers about the work experiences at Boulder Knoll Community Farm.

A very limited number of work-intensive shares are offered (60 or 30 hours per season) for people who have an interest in being more deeply involved in growing practices. Brenda must interview and approve all work-intensive members. Work intensive shares put in a majority of their hours during the early part of the season. Morning harvesters and April and May workers are critical.

A very limited number of shares that do not require work are available at an additional cost for those who are unable or who would prefer not to commit to 12 hours of work.
