Farm Labor Link
Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture believes farm interns and workers play a vital role in the High Country's sustainable agriculture community. This webpage offers work opportunities for individuals interested in learning more about sustainable agriculture through seasonal experience. Some positions may have been filled since posting. Some listings are unpaid educational experiences. Others are paid farm employee positions. Each offers the aspiring farmer the ability to learn more about the High Country's sustainable-agriculture community. Farms seeking seasonal or full-time workers can post their needs on the Farm Labor Link as well.
Blue Ridge CRAFT
Based upon CRAFT models like Organic Growers School's WNC CRAFT and similar apprenticeship networks, Blue Ridge CRAFT connects aspiring farmers with experienced farmers and encourages innovative on-farm educational and professional experiences. Providing tools to established farmers that will enhance their mentorship abilities is central to Blue Ridge CRAFT's efforts. As we work together to form a more resilient and just food system and local economy, Blue Ridge CRAFT believes that is imperative that we encourage candid, meaningful conversations, form durable and inclusive partnerships, engage best practices, and excite innovation and creativity.
