About Our Farm: 
Hart to Hart Farm is a 285-acre organic dairy farm in central Maine. 1.5 hours from Portland, and just half an hour from beautiful coastal Belfast, spend the summer working on our farm and engaging with youth from the community. Our mission is to foster awareness of farm stewardship, growing healthy foods, and the importance of sustainable, local agriculture, through education and experience. We believe hands-on education can plant future seeds that will help all people become better stewards of the Earth. If you want to be part of this work, we hope you join us this summer! The farm includes a historic barn, outbuildings for chickens, goats, sheep, horses, rabbits, and a free-stall barn which is home to 130 dairy cows. Scenic pastures, organic gardens and orchard, ponds, wetlands, forests, and farm provide an ideal camp setting to explore.

About the Job: 
We are seeking qualified individuals to teach sustainable agriculture and environmental lessons utilizing our gardens, farm, fields, forests, and ponds. Educators collaborate to inspire and engage campers ages 5 – 14 to build lifelong, meaningful relationships with the natural world on an organic farm. Campers participate in farm chores, gardening, and cooking as well as a wide range of environmental and agricultural activities. You will play a pivotal role in creating a memorable and educational experience for camp participants. Be a part of a team growing the Future of Maine Agriculture, One Child at a Time
