Looking for experienced farmer Oahu North Shore
Professional Organic Farmer Wanted I have a small Organic farm on the North Shore of Oahu that has been at rest for the last year and half. I am looking for an experienced organic / permaculture/ biodynamic farmer to partner with me to bring this back to a working farm. In the past we grew medicinal food and herbs. We're looking for someone who lives this lifestyle, not just works it, because the food you grow will be a reflection of your mana/ your essence. Many of our clients are recovering from severe illnesses or have environmental illnesses aka multiple chemical sensitivities, the rest want food that heals and invigorates, rather than just filling their stomachs. Please do not reply unless you are an experienced organic farmer who has years experience running an organic,permaculture or bio dynamic farm and has a clean, clear soul, our clients depend on us delivering the highest quality food possible to recover from their health challlenges. This position is not for interns or beginners, or people with drama going on in their lives, it is for a professional, spiritually elevated person who knows that food and healing is more than the physical aspects of food. I do not define spiritual people with religious people, in my mind it is not necessarily one and the same. This is not a religious farm by any means, it is for people who can tune into nature and harmonize with all that surrounds you so that we work in partnership with nature. The right person must know how to work all aspects of farming from making compost, run a weekly production, worked extensively w/ companion planting, collecting seeds, (drying herbs would be a bonus), permaculture principals, running a crew, know how to maintain irrigation and know water management, have construction and mechanical skills to maintain property and equipment. Basically a jack of all trades- farmer. If you are a professional farmer you have no fantasies about how laborious this work is, so as rugged as you have to be, you must also be in tuned with nature and have a delicate hand and a green thumb. Please send your qualification, experience and references to our email. We will begin as soon as i find the right person. Compensation is based on experience, what you bring to the table and your ability to produce crops. I get paid on what we produce, you will get paid the same way, so a good farmer with a good heart and business mind would be the perfect partner for me.Posted: January 31, 2012
