Membership at Living Energy Farm
Living Energy Farm sometimes has openings for new members. If you are interested in contributing to our mission of building sustainable and self-determined communities, and think you might be a good fit for our project, a great first step is to come out for a tour and get to know us in person.
If you live too far away to come out for a tour, please reach out by email to livingenergyfarm at gmail.com to find out if we have openings and learn more about the application process.
More information about LEF membership is on our listing at the Foundation for Intentional Community (FIC) Directory.
Volunteering with us
Living Energy Farm also hosts residential volunteers. Volunteers stay with us for a minimum of 2 weeks to a maximum of 3 months, and work 35-40 hours a week in exchange for room and board. (If you want to stay with us for more than 3 months, we will ask you to apply for membership.)
During the growing season – May through October – work at LEF is mainly agricultural, although we will ask volunteers to pitch in with domestic work as well (cooking and cleaning).
During the agricultural off-season, there’s still domestic work to do, and some farm processing work. Additionally, volunteers may be able to plug into technology development projects. It’s helpful for off-season volunteers to have some mechanical experience. But more important than experience is self-motivation and an ability to work independently.
If you’re interested, email us at livingenergyfarm at gmail.com to find out about current openings and how to apply.
