About the event
In spring and fall we accept up to 12 residents for a free, weeklong work-exchange experience. Throughout the week, residents will participate in vital homesteading activities (e.g., clearing garden beds, soil preparation, planting, weeding, harvesting, land maintenance, etc.) while residing in our cozy retreat barn. At the end of the week we'll celebrate a job well done with a communal feast.
Residencies are tuition-free, making them a great opportunity to explore Sky Meadow and learn new skills in return for much-appreciated help tending this incredible land. No prior gardening experience is necessary, but residents should be comfortable doing active outside work and come ready to get their hands dirty. We'll work together for about 4-6 hours each day, with plenty of breaks and free time to relax, connect and explore.
As far as food, you’ll mostly be responsible for your own meals throughout the week. You will have open access…
