Position: Member Farmers
Organization: Fresh City Farms http://www.freshcityfarms.com/
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Not Just Any Old Summer Job: Become an Urban Farmer!
Fresh City was founded to empower young people to farm in urban front and back yards. We believe in the transformative power of urban farming to educate the public on food issues and to expand the market for local and organically produced food.
About the Fresh City Member Farmer Program:
We provide materials such seeds and compost, shared access to high-cost tools, hands-on workshops, the assistance of an experienced organic farmer and access to a market for your produce. You farm yards in your neighborhood and work alongside your fellow member farmers a few hours a week with Fresh City.
Fresh City has designed a member farmer program that will keep startup expenses to no more than a few hundred dollars, respective to the amount of land you want to farm. Even this small investment can be reduced if you already have access to basic gardening tools and harvesting boxes. Our system is designed so that you will not need access to a car.
What you'll learn...
You will learn how to grow quality food. You will meet people who are passionate about food and changing the world. The hard physical work will get you in great shape. You will learn what it means to be a farmer and to run your own business. You will join the burgeoning movement to reform our food production system.
How much do I have to work?
This will largely depend on how much land you want to farm and how intensively you want to farm it. The minimum you can expect to work is about 12 hours per week. Some backyard farmers with many yards work as much as 60 hours per week at the height of the growing season.
How much can I earn?
Earning potential depends on several factors including skill, how much you work, soil quality, what you grow and weather conditions. Urban farmers have reported earning anywhere between $0.75 to $3.50 per square foot farmed. Because Fresh City sells directly to customers, we can buy your produce at prices significantly higher than wholesale. In addition to selling produce to Fresh City Farms, you will also have the opportunity to earn commissions on the sale of produce and organic products ranging from maple syrup to soup. In this way, you can help friends and family spend their food dollars in a way that is better for the environment, society and helps you earn a living.
The application process:
If you're interested in our program and are passionate about food, possess an entrepreneurial spirit, and have experience gardening or farming, please submit a cover letter and resume to Abra Snider, General Manager at abra@freshcityfarms.com .
Please address the following questions in your cover letter:
1. Why are you interested in farming?
2. What crops have you grow and/or what crops are you excited to try growing?
3. What are three characteristics that exemplify your entrepreneurial spirit?
Thank you!
The Fresh City Farms Team

HYIPs Monitor Plan-2500% of your deposit in 2 days-Got $1,250,000 in 48 hours
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I think you must assume that all HYIPs (High Yield Investment Programs) are scams, they
are definitely ponzie schemes. They come and they go just like that. Dozens of them pop up everyday
ready to take your AdChoicesmoney and run. They promise high returns on your investment and fast
payment and you do get that for a while. They want to gain your trust. They want you to believe in them
so that you will invest even more money. Then when people start trusting that this is an honest HYIP
with an honest administrator and start investing higher amounts of money, that's when they grab the
money and run.
Now, with all that said I still believe you can make money with HYIPs. There are people out there that
are making money with them, it's all in how you play the game. I did HYIPs for a while and I made money
and lost money. I may even have lost more then I made. I Set up a HYIP MONITOR SITE.
