Bought pan new from CDL. Used for several sugaring seasons and worked very well. Moving to a new home and no longer need this size. Pan modified for float by CDL. Arch will need to be re-bricked. Must pick up in East Thetford VT.

ISO farmsitter for our farm in Corinth, VT to cover us while we go away for some events this summer. The tasks will be: 

- daily morning milking of 20 sheep plus clean-up from milking (once per day milking, starting before 9)

- moving fence and water for those sheep daily

- checking in on the other groups of sheep daily (2 other groups – rams and lambs/yearlings)

- feeding, watering, and mucking horses daily 

- checking on, feeding, and watering pigs as needed (they are pretty self-sufficient and have auto-food and waterers) 

- taking care of our very sweet dog Maggie (a walk a day, breakfast, and dinner)

- generally making sure that things are okay with the house

Because of the training involved with milking, we’re looking for someone who can come during the July dates to learn milking and chores from Eva and then who can cover the August dates themselves. The November dates are also solo but are easier as we will have stopped milking at this point so having the same person cover August and November is not needed (but might be nice for everyone). 

Compensation we’re offering is $100/day. We also have a cozy and spacious house with a hot tub, lots of woods to walk in, and a sweet swimming pond. 

Someone with experience milking and caring for livestock would be ideal. 

Training/getting comfortable: 

 

- 1 paid training day that we can decide on together between now and August 6th
- During July 29-30 the primary farmer, Dani, will be away and Eva will be covering milking and chores – if the person who is taking this on is local to the area, they could come for one of these days as an additional paid training/getting comfortable day

Farm Sitting Dates: 

 

- August 7-10 (the main event)
- November 7-9 (just chores - these dates won’t involve milking)

If you’re coming from a distance, you could come from August 6-10th, the training day would be the 6th, and then we would leave on the 7th. Same for the November dates though training is much less intensive for these dates and if the same person is covering both periods, another training day won’t be necessary. 

Please reach out to Dani @ [email protected] or (703)965-7636

This eighteen-acre farm is perfect for a cooperative farm, a family farm, or a unique school. It boasts 60 fruit trees, 300 bluebarry bushes, wild berries all over, 3 high tunnels, a green house, a historic event barn, a bottomless well with an irrigation system throughout the farm, a machine shop, a classroom or event space with a commercial kitchen, animal housing for chickens, turkeys, hogs, goats, a four unit farmhouse that can easily be a single family home, and so much more. There are numerous opportunities here, and I'm seeking someone or a group of people who are motivated and share a similar vision. The possibilities are endless. I currently operate this farm as an educational farm with an established Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. I have built this community for 15 years, and I need some help to either keep it alive or change hands to start something new. It is currently priced at $850000. If you have dreamed of starting a cooperative farm, alternative school, retreat center, or even something like a multigenerational farm, this is for you. The views to the west are amazing, the wetland below the farm is full of gorgeous bird life, the location is great, and it is established, so the community is here to support you. Please contact me for more information. I am happy to consult as well as partner with you to make this dream come true.

Looking for full time work in the Burlington area. 

Feel free to call (603)391-2938, I can send my resume with references as well. 

Thank you!

Designed for rotating chickens on pasture. This coop was built by my husband on top of a flatbed trailer. The coop has 10 laying boxes, a large roost, doors for the chickens to go in or out on both sides plus the roost lifts up so you can clean the coop easily. The back of the coop opens up so you can shovel shavings out. Windows have screens to keep coop cooler in summer and can be closed up for winter. This coop can hold 30-50 chickens. We are downsizing and no longer need a coop this size. Must come to pick it up in E. Thetford  VT. Coop will be cleaned thoroughly before pick up. Chickens in photos not included.
