Join our Angelic Organics
Packing Team in Exchange for a Vegetable Share
Worker Share
Information
Angelic Organics, a
Biodynamic, Organic Community Supported Agriculture farm 9 mi SE of Beloit, 18 mi NE of Rockford, is now offering a
Worker Share. In exchange for your labor,
you will receive a full 3/4‐bushel box of organic, biodynamic vegetables each 4‐hour day that you work. You could be
cooking with those vegetables that
night!
People who apply and are
selected to the Worker Share program will come to the farm for 4 hours weekly to assist with the packing of
our vegetable boxes. Starting time will be
at 1 pm. This enjoyable and fulfilling activity is a serious commitment
of 4 hours per week for 24 weeks beginning
in mid‐June and going through Thanksgiving. At this point, we are rearranging
our packing days, and I am not sure which days we will pack this year. The pack
line is in our open pack barn and temperatures can fluctuate from 100 degrees in
August to below freezing temperatures in
November. Students, teachers and others
that can work only during the summer are also encouraged to apply, but preference will be given to
those that can commit to the full season
(Minimal age for working in this program is 14).
How to apply
Before applying, please
watch our YouTube video of the week 1 pack
from 2011. We also suggest you
familiarize yourself with our website AngelicOrganics.com and watch our film The
Real Dirt on Farmer John.
To apply for the Worker
Share program, please email us at apply@angelicorganics.com, indicating Worker Share program in the subject
line. Your email should briefly describe
why you want to participate in the Worker Share program, if you want to work Tuesday, Wednesday or
Friday afternoon, and your contact information. Please indicate if you are available for the
full season or what portion of the
season.
We will then contact you to
set up an interview.
