Get Involved

 Gaia Rising Farm provides a terrific opportunity for an aspiring young farmer or farm couple who want to be part of changing our food system to a more sustainable model. The Farm is offering a lease or partnership situation to an enthusiastic person or family, to develop a farm that will be successful and profitable.

 

Gaia Rising Farm began in 2008, growing beans, corn, squash and other staple crops using organic practices and the available rainfall.The farm was helped by the many interns that we hosted along the way. Farm shares were sold for two years, 2011 and 2012. Sequoia has homesteaded the property for 35 years, most of that with her husband Lane. The homestead is off grid solar powered. She has established numerous fruit and nut trees and is expanding perennial crops so that the farm will be able to help provide the food needs of our community.

 

There is a small flock of Gotland sheep that is being raised for breeding stock and for fleece, meat and pelts. In addition to the many years of growing experience, Sequoia also has extensive infrastructure and equipment and will be happy to provide you with a list and more information. The farm has a small but very devoted customer base.

 

This is a great opportunity to work into creating a farm of your own and to help make some positive changes to our troubled world. All applicants must have an understanding of and resonance with our mission, to help build a community based food system and our values of working toward a restoration agriculture. Applicants must

also be hard working, eager to learn, highly self-motivated, personable, honest and straight-forward, with a sense of humor, and willing to make a long term commitment. Please reply to gaiarisingfarm@protonmail.com.
