Plowshare Farm is a life-sharing community where people with diverse capabilities, including adults with special needs, live and work side by side to build an inclusive and sustainable community.
To work together to respond to the social, human, spiritual and ecological needs of our times, creating a community environment where every person and every aspect of the natural world can be learned from and valued.
We have found our most successful, and happiest, volunteers to be people who carry strong self-initiative. Who, after an orientation period, can see what needs to be done, and do it out of one’s own initiative. We like to be light-hearted and cheerful, even as we are accomplishing tasks, and we enjoy this quality in others. The day is not all work.
Some activities are:
- Help in some of the various workshops: farming, building, gardening, baking, cooking, fiber arts, etc.
- Help with meal preparation and other household tasks.
- Participation in household and community life such as daily meals, social interaction and leisure activities in the house or outdoors.
- Help with fulfilling hygienic needs of the residents.
