Daily work, prayer and meditation in the spirit of St. Benedict's "ora et labora" at a Microfarm & Agronomic University.

We run a small CSA 12 months/year with a diverse orchard, hundreds of vegetables, herbs, and cutflowers. There are 7 urban and suburban gardens around the county, 50+ "adopted" fruit trees, year-round fresh produce with our greens hoophouse and root cellar. We also host a Peter Maurin Study Group, cooperative educational events on local food sufficiency (canning, pickles, tofu-making, etc.), and organic farming apprenticeships which are available mid-February to mid-November.

Volunteers needed:
We are now accepting Farm Apprenticeship applications for 2011. We are also looking to recruit a full-time Catholic Worker Farmer to join in the community work and prayer, and the management of the expanding orchard and gardens
