About Blenheim Organic Gardens:

Blenheim Organic Gardens, nestled on the ancestral land of George Washington’s family in the Northern Neck of Virginia, stands as the region’s leading organic produce farm. For over two decades, Lawrence Latané, a Washington family descendant, and his wife Becky have cultivated a bounty of organic vegetables, flowers, fruits, and herbs. As part of Blenheim Farm’s legacy, they continue the tradition of sustainable farming practices. Customers can savor the beauty and flavor of Blenheim Organic Gardens’ produce through the Fredericksburg Area CSA, the Fredericksburg Food Co-operative, and the Blenheim Buyer’s Club.

About Work Exchange Opportunity in the United States at Blenheim Organic Gardens :

­Blenheim volunteers work alongside us in the fields, greenhouse, hoop houses, barn, and occasionally the farmer’s market. In exchange for your help, you’ll get free vegetables, room and board (if you’re here overnight), and an unforgettable experience.

For many people, coming to the farm is an escape from their usual day-to-day. We have people from all over the country come work with us, and many have such a great time, that they return summer after summer.

Farm work includes ­harvesting, weeding, sowing, irrigating, and prepping for CSA. It’s challenging but fun work, and we’re looking for responsible, easygoing people who love good food, love nature and want to experience small-scale organic farming.

Also, there’s always work to do on infrastructure, like revamping our volunteer cabin!

There is space to pitch a tent on the property if you like camping.

Length of stay varies – we welcome volunteers for a morning or for a season! Please contact us with questions and when you’d like to come.
