Gardening/farm programs? Places that are hiring?

10 years ago

Hi
I live in walnutport, pa. I've been working at job that has literally put me over the edge with anxiety and after reevaluating, I decided it's time for a change to get into something I love to do! So I've been job searching so any places you know of that might be hiring let me know! I want something with gardening(I know its close to winter lol) or working on a farm or even a pet store! Also any gardening or farm programs or clubs you know of in the lehigh valley area would be great!! I'm hoping one day to own a small farm and nursery business and I've decided to get serious about it! I might be taking business management at LCCC, unfortunately the horticulture plant science classes are being cancelled this year :( (of course that is my luck! lol) anyways open to any suggestions or ideas! Thanks

you might want to check out Rodale Farm in Kutztown...thats not too far from you...maybe 40 minutes.They started the whole organic growing movement. Really cool place...they hire alot of people to maintain the crops/orchards/animals and they have many projects going.....
