Embrace Autumn at the Farm 🍂🧄🥕

Fall brings vibrant soups, cozy socks, and, of course, pumpkin spice lattes - it's also the peak of harvest season on farms! 

Harvest days are colorful and fun, they are the rewarding culmination of a grower’s hard work. Have you ever spent significant time outdoors during the fall? Volunteering on a farm connects you deeply with the changing nature around you. 

A fall WWOOFing adventure is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in this beautiful season.  Unique Fall Experiences on a WWOOF Farm🍂 Autumn leaves

If you have never seen the stunning transformation of leaves before - it is truly spectacular. From vibrant greens to rich oranges, reds, beiges, and yellows…nothing compares to a forest looking like a painting.🧅 Pumpkin Picking

An array of vegetables are only ready to be picked in the fall. Pumpkins, squashes, cabbages and leeks… The experience of harvesting and preparing them is unique and truly enjoyable!🍯 Making Cider

Our platform features multiple hosts that craft their own original beverages such as cider. Join them on their farm! Learn how to crush fresh apples to create a juicy mash, to extract the apple juice and ferment it to turn it into delicious cider.🍓 Making Jams and Preserves

As cold weather approaches, many growers focus on making  preserves to store the bounty of their harvest. This season is filled with opportunities to transform fresh fruits and vegetables into delicious treats that can be enjoyed long after the growing season ends.

Painted the cute little farm/homestead we're staying at. Planning to do this each place we stay it's so much fun to give the owner a gift.

SO

I've been working on the farm for three weeks now, and while the work itself is amazing -super rewarding and makes my heart feel complete, like I was made for it- the people are... not. In particular, one if the owners that's with us and works on the farm full time (unlike his husband who is amazing and I love but works a regular job and is not with us much). I'm getting a lot of snide remarks and such and it's been bothering me much more than when I was working retail. At least there my shift was over in a couple hours- here I'm staying with them for days on end!

Today, after it was particularly bad, I called my teacher. She's overlooking our apprentienceships, so I asked her for advice on how to proceed. There are three options:

1. Stay the whole duration as agreed on at the beginning

2. Stop and do the rest of time needed somewhere else

3. Count hours worked instead of days to shorten your stay (I'm working ~12 hours a day, a work day is 8 hours. That means I've worked 18 work days in 13 actual days and only need 7 more to finish)

I'll bring this up after dinner today. The first option will kill me (feeling suicidal again for the first time in two years yaay), and I don't want to franticly search for another place to work at, so I'm hoping we can agree on the third option, with me working tomorrow and then next week tuesday-sunday. If not, I'm working for the last time tomorrow and then packing my bags and leaving.

Wish me luck!

Jesus fkn Christ, who is barking on my timeline again???!

i haven't seen this recommended yet for queer people fleeing certain states - and take it with a grain of salt, there's physical labor involved (organic farming / animal care / hands-on teaching) and i'll have to look into other opportunities for disable folks - but a couple of my friends have had good experiences with WWOOF.

your housing and food is covered, stays can be for whole growing seasons from april to october or you can negotiate to stay on longer if you vibe with your hosts (or if animal care extends year round)- it's a decent way to make connections in a new community and find roommates + paid work opportunities for the future while gaining experience and building your resume.

it's a good alternative to other volunteer programs like americorps / peace corps which have insanely drawn out application processes + require high up-front costs on the medical side + you're beholden to admin (and peace corps...does not have a great track record with trans folks). WWOOF terms are negotiated privately between the host farm and applicant, and you basically just have to front the cost of getting out to the host site.

disclaimer that any program like this can be a mixed bag - absolutely do your research on hosts, choose a liberal state, liberal area - if you're in an absolute bind and need to get somewhere ASAP it's an option you can weigh among others.

Wwoof

C’est quoi le WWOOF exactement? C’est une plateforme qui connecte des fermiers et des voyageurs étrangers qui veulent travailler en échange d’hébergement. Qu’est-ce que le wwoofing, phénomène très populaire en Estrie?

I'm actually working on a sheep and goat farm for school rn! In second and third year we have to do 6 and 9 weeks of working somewhere related to agriculture and I opted to woof on a tiny farm this year. Usually people get actual paid jobs, but I wanted to experience the whole thing and not just a couple hours of farm/lab/whatever work a day. It's my 4th day (already!!) and it's been great, although very tiring at times, and satisfying-I got here just in time to bottle-feed the baby goats their last couple times!

And the owners are really nice too:) They're a gay couple and they've been nothing but nice to me and also have been gendering me correctly the whole time, even to other people??? As a pre-medical transition trans with long hair and not a very manly figure, it's basically an oasis in the middle of a desert and I'm super grateful for that;_;

Also there was a rainbow yesterday!

[dont-open-dead-inside-net]

this sparked a conversation with a family member (veteran) about things you can do when you need a dramatic change in your life and i now know about this very cool program where you can volunteer to work on someone's farm in exchange for food and lodging

got some mail today (military recruitment letter)
