To whom it may concern;
I am seeking opportunities for paid or subsistence work in
sustainable
agriculture, preferably within an indigenous/intentional-community or other
non-market context.
I am currently working with Stranger's Hill organic farm near
Bloomington, Indiana, and will be there over this coming summer learning
small-scale growing and distribution methods such as Community Supported
Agriculture. I would like to use my background in the life sciences in
support of peoples' efforts to feed their communities in economically
self-reliant and ecologically sustainable ways.
I enjoy my work at the farm and I hope that you or someone you
know
will find my experience valuable. My stay there will be over by October of
'93
and I would much appreciate hearing from you by then.
Sincerely,
Richard Taylor
rijtaylo@ucs.indiana.edu
ps if you are familiar with other groups or lists to which I might crosspost
(especially organic/sustainable ag groups) please let me know.
