Farm108

permaculture farming initiative which aims to create a center for environmental and social awareness, in order to encourage key changes within Israeli society, that is, consuming behavior, resources use, and abundance perceptions; ultimately, the objective is to foster changes in people's lifestyles towards sustainability. The farm is the product of a collective journey of inspired, motivated students of the Green Apprenticeship (GA) Permaculture Design Course. Our main activities include among others, taking care of an organic garden and twelve chickens; ecological building with a variety of materials including straw bales and mud; and designing/building other permaculture projects like greywater and rainwater collection systems and solar ovens. We also host a monthly exchange market that works on the basis of a simple idea – someone's garbage is a useful thing to someone else. Through the market we can not only re-use and recycle but we can actually convey the message that we can do much with what we have instead of focusing on what we don't have.

The work expected of a volunteer, mainly helping to maintain, plant and harvest, is not strenuous. I would like a volunteer to stay at least two to three months. When you decide to leave to give two weeks notice. The work schedule is six hours a day five days a week, but I am willing to be flexible for extra time off if there is not a lot to do. We originally from the US (I grew up on a dairy farm in upstate NY). We grow a wide variety of vegetables and greens as possible since we market directly to homes. The living quarters for the volunteer (right now we can accommodate one person or a couple - a child we would have to talk about) are self contained. We want the volunteer to feel as part of our family as possible (especially if you connect with our children). When we sit down for a meal the volunteer will be welcome otherwise they have to cook for themselves.. it is not a problem to be picked up when you arrive.

We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to share the experience and learn with us. We can host for a long period of time or a few days (at least a week). We need immediate help to build scaffolding (to help future plastering of the walls). Experience in construction and woodwork would be an asset.

Working with straw and earth requires mild physical effort, and no previous experience is required. Room and board will be provided. Room: In the new house we have a built concrete cellar, which we are making into a basic, private, livable place. There is electricity, a basic kitchen and an outdoor composting toilet and sink.
