What to expect for WWOOFers

The Jacob Springs Farm schedule begins each day Monday through Saturday at dawn (see Jacob Springs dawn start times calendar) with a 15-20 minute meeting prior to chores. Volunteers, wwoofers, and farm team members are expected to attend. We operate on norms, rather than rules, we expect you to wake yourself. The meeting will review the calendar and assess progress toward the goals of the weekly agenda

Chores follow the meeting. Workers are invited to join in a (typically) wonderful breakfast following chores. Over breakfast, we typically engage in an informal discussion topic. After breakfast, special projects continue until 11 or noon.

If community norms are not being respected, community leaders are forced to either add to their workload, become disciplinarians and ask for compliance, or choose to tolerate an atmosphere of diluted respect and effectiveness. Please don't force us to choose, if community norms are regularly disregarded you may be asked to leave
