Like to make things grow?

[OutdoorWoman]

How about helping me spiritually grow? I have a vision of beginning a community organic farm. I am currently employed as an environmental educator until June 2005. At that time I am hoping to find work at an organic farm so I can learn as much as possible about sustainability. I also am hoping to learn more about the construction of ecohousing. I have been job searching lately, hoping to find a way to harmonize work and personal life. I have small bills which have to be paid monthly (about $300) and an additional ($400) every 6 months, so I have to find paying work or I would just volunteer at a farm for the experience. I have considered joining an intentional community farm already in operation and searching employment in a nearby town if necessary. I am hoping someone out there reading this knows how to help this dream to fruition.
I am a single 25 year old woman with determination and I know I can make this happen! So rise to the call of helping dreams come true! If you have some wisdom to pass along to me, Id appreciate it! Info on available organic jobs and intentional community opportunities in or after June 2005 most welcome! Love to each and everyone of you!

A good place to look for internships and stuff -- which might be what you'd need. (http://www.wetfeet.com)

fruition -- nice pun.

That's all the help I can give.
But I do know someone who took classes at a nearby college on hydroponics to grow her family's food. But we're out of contact.

We have classes at our local career center on different aspects on gardening. They seem pretty inexpensive, and they even have a class on organic gardening! If I wasnt taking a full class load this semester, I was thinking of taking it :o But I have found out that if you go to your local food store or farmers market, you can find some organic farms that do need volunteers/workers. I volunteered a summer, and I learned a lot of interesting things!!! I hope this helps you out
