APPRENTICESHIP: Come learn with us at at littleGrasse, we offer a full immersion experience in all that goes in to operating a small-scale diversified community farm and homestead. It’s an incredible opportunity to learn, not only garden planning, planting, maintenance and harvest, but also CSA inter workings, kitchen skills and more. Our Farm is a seed to table experience in the truest sense of the term. We explore and create in the garden and kitchen equally. Preparing meals and preserving the bounty in our well stocked kitchen, pantry and root cellar offers apprentices a unique, full-circle opportunity in a very supportive environment.

BARTER SHARES: At littleGrasse we are always trying to think outside of the box when it comes to the needs of the Farm. On any farm labor is a tough nut to crack and requires a multi prong approach. Bartering is an excellent opportunity for producer and consumer alike to enter into an agreement without using money. Bartering is a way for folks that have time to spend in the garden or a specific skill set, a chance to trade their garden time or skills for a share of the harvest. Creative proposals are encouraged and will be considered on a case by case basis. Reach out and lets see what we can make happen.
