Fun Summer Job Opportunity

I just got this email from my friend Bridget- sounds like a great way to spend a summer!

My two girls and I will be spending this summer in Fairlee, Vermont at an all-girls summer camp. I just heard from the camp director that the position for Head of Farming is still open. I thought you might know someone in the Richmond community or the surrounding farms that has an interest in both farming and gardening and working with kids. This camp is a very special place and I am so excited that the farming program is being revived. In its 100+ year history, the camp has supported local farms and had its own gardens - even Victory gardens during the war years.

Job: Head of the Farm and garden program at a girls summer camp

Care for animals: 4 goats, 3 pigs and 15 chickens

Have experience with milking goats, willingness to learn how to make

different goat cheeses and other foods

Tend to raised vegetable beds.
