About the Four Springs Farm:

Back in July of 2001, Jinny purchased a remarkable seventy-acre property situated on a central Vermont hillside with the intention of furthering and expanding the farming endeavors she commenced nearly forty years ago. As one approaches along the ridge, they are greeted with a breathtaking view of the Green Mountains sprawling along the horizon to the west. Expansive open spaces, picturesque fields boasting fertile soils, awe-inspiring vistas, numerous springs, a tranquil stream, and serene woods collectively contribute to a welcoming ambiance. Visitors, alongside the committed farmers residing and laboring on the farm, delight in the crispness of the air and the extraordinary light and beauty of this Vermont hillside. Abundant opportunities exist to fully utilize the land and extend its benefits to others for recreational and educational purposes.

About Farming Opportunities in Vermont, US:

Extended Stay
Jinny is now vending at the Norwich Farmers Market only twice a month which leaves her the option of taking time away from the farm. To make this a reasonable possibility the farm would like to invite a person/people to live on the farm for a two to three month stay between April/May through October, living in a small private cabin. This person would have use of the campground wash house facilities and the farmhouse with kitchen and wifi. Work responsibilities would be limited to the value of room and board and give this person time for their own work or interests. No prior farm experience is needed. Good people skills are required.

Volunteers
It has been a special experience for many who have volunteered on the farm over the years and for those of us who have hosted these guests from all over the world. Interested people are welcome to apply to stay on the farm for two weeks and sometimes longer, while learning about farming practices and campground management. Such folks live either in a small cabin, in the farmhouse guest room or their own tent and share meals (mostly Four Springs Farm produced bounty) beginning in early April until the end of October. Work is partially routine and requires some strength. There is usually work most days but there is ample time to explore Vermont as well as the spacious farm itself.
