This well-established garden is ready for planting! The landholders have more space than they can use this season and are excited to share it with a fellow grower. They’re looking for a skilled and dedicated gardener—someone passionate about growing food and caring for the land. If you have a love for regenerative gardening and want to be part of a vibrant community farm, this is a great opportunity to dig in and get growing.

Description and historical use of land available for farming
The available space is inside the landholder's 1/2-acre garden. This garden was first established in 2017, expanding the cultivated area year by year. All beds have irrigation, and have been managed organically and most recently using no-till practices. The landholder runs GreenERA Farm from this garden, growing mixed vegetables with help from family, friends, and volunteers from the community, who all enjoy baskets of fresh produce in exchange of garden work. A section of this garden is unused this season, and is available for another farmer who wants to grow their own annual vegetables there.
