COMPANY DESCRIPTION
The Farm at Our House's mission is to grow fresh produce sustainably and provide work development opportunities for young people. We are located in Brookeville, Maryland, 15 miles north of Washington, DC. We grow certified organic small fruits and vegetables and raise honey bees on 12 acres. We manage an additional 15 acres. The farm is located on 140 acres owned by Our House www.our-house.org , a residential job training center for young men ages 16-21. We do not own the land we farm on, but have farmed the land for over a decade and have a 5 year lease. We manage a 200 member 24-28 week CSA, sell at 2 local farmers' markets, both of which are within 15 miles of the farm, and sell to wholesalers. We are a great farm to work for if you are interested in learning how to grow mixed vegetables and berries sustainably and efficiently, enjoy working with a truly diverse group of people and are interested in taking on additional responsibility as you develop your farming craft.
Our House residents have the opportunity, should they choose and comply with our work expectations, to work on the farm, earn income, and develop job skills to prepare for adulthood. College students and high school students also intern on the farm.
