Boost your mood, get exercise, and make new friends
There's always something to do depending on the time of season: seeding and up-planting in the greenhouse, planting and harvesting in the field and washing and packaging in the barn are just a few of the many tasks it takes to keep the farm operational. We enjoy lunch daily in the pavilion from 12-1pm. If interested, please send us an email introducing yourself and let us know your availability: |

Fund a Female FarmerI am Amy Fiedler and I have been farming for 16 years at Springhouse Farm with my mother in Watauga County, NC. Over the years I have achieved many accomplishments including the Beekeeper of the Year and Female Farmer of the Year awards.
As a single mother, my greatest accomplishment has been raising both of my children on this land, instilling in them the importance of hard work and perseverance. Both farming and beekeeping have traditionally been male-dominated careers, and as a woman I have succeeded in both. I am asking for your help to support me in creating and implementing a curriculum to teach women how to farm, not only to grow food, but to succeed as business women. I need funding to be able to continue this important work. I am requesting your sponsorship in order to offer this service to my community. I currently have a waitlist of ten people for my internship. Average Cost of one Full Time Intern (full season): $10,000 Average Cost of one Part Time Intern (half season): $2,000 Levels of Sponsorship:
