I am an incoming graduate student at UVM studying plant and soil science. I am looking to live on a vegetable farm within a 30 min - 1 hour drive from UVM's campus starting in July or August. I would love to support the farm operations part-time and as my school/research allows. 

I am single, no pets, late 20s, and super eager to learn and grow my farm skills while working hard. Ideally I would like to share some meals and live in community with others living on the farm. I am open to either communal living or standalone apartment. I am clean, transparent, and honest. 

My growing experience is one season young but the will is there and I take direction super well. I have research, engineering, business, and carpentry skills that may or may not be helpful to a farm. I have passion for food preservation!
