Tryon Life Community Farm

NOTE: Summer 2008 Work-Trade spots are currently full. However, due to cancellations, positions may open up. To be put on our waitlist, email worktrade [at] tryonfarm.org

Become a work-trader! Live on the land and work with other volunteers using both mind and body. Become a temporary participant in the life of the land and the communities that live, work, and play here. If you can commit to being here at least one month and devote much of your time to working and learning on the land, please consider applying. Most work-traders prefer to come in the warmer weather, but camping is possible year-round if you're willing to rough it.
Often, work projects are self-directed as we are all volunteers here! Bonsai Matt and Matt Gordon are the current work-trade coordinators.

Please contact us at 503.245.3847 for more info.
Work-traders generally live in a tent on the land in exchange for at least 25 hours per week of labor. Food is normally shared with the residential community at cost.
