WWOOFers

What we do here… A big part of our work is running a seminar and retreat business. Generally speaking, you will be working at least 10 hours per week doing things necessary for the business. This usually includes cleaning, helping to prepare meals, and washing dishes. There are many other food tasks that come up intermittently, like food preserving and pickling, to name a few. Everyone in the community takes their turn participating in these tasks, and we often work in groups. There is also a lot of gardening work that needs to be done; from prepping the gardens in early spring, to planting and maintenance throughout the season and harvesting in the fall, with shared opportunities between the CSA garden and the local market garden. There is also some maintenance and grounds keeping work that goes along with maintaining the property and buildings.

Each WWOOFer is required to do 30-35 hours per week, averaging 5-6 hours per day per week, with one day off. Each week we prioritize the tasks that need to be accomplished and allocate them based on skill, interest and need. So you will not end up ‘stuck’ with one job or type of jobs for your whole stay, but have an opportunity to try your hand at many things.

Who we are looking for…We are looking for fit, healthy, self motivated and interesting people. We want enthusiastic people who show up on time, pay attention and work to the best of their abilities. We want creative, inquiring minds that are willing to learn and contribute to creative processes. We are growing as a community, and embrace fresh perspectives and new ideas. We provide a physical, intellectual and spiritually stimulating environment, so if you are interested in growth in these areas, Claymont could be the perfect place for you!
