Lewis Farm sits on land originally inhabited by the Massawomeck and officially established as the Frye Farm in the early 1800s by one of Wardensville’s founding families. This 100-acre farm site is bordered by the Cacapon River. Our vegetable production is focused on just under 1 intensively-managed acre and we are in the process of refining our vegetable and flower programs, as well as adding livestock production to better serve our markets and other connected enterprises (market, bakery, kitchen, etc.). This year we began Livestock production, growing pasture raised poultry in 2024 and preparing for additional forms of livestock production in 2025.
Our vegetable farm, and nearly 45 acres of pasture, has been Certified Organic since 2019 and we have loyally followed sustainable principles such as crop rotation, soil nutrient balancing, and cover-cropping.
As a nonprofit social enterprise, our farm serves as a living classroom teaching local youth (what we call our “Junior Crew”) organic and sustainable farming techniques as well as how the farm interacts with, and is integrated into, the larger ecosystem. They are involved in all aspects of production, from seed to sale. They also learn with our farm crew as they grow, cultivate and prepare produce for our market, bakery, farm stand and restaurant, gaining hands-on, real life experience.
We are seeking a motivated Farmer to support the year round operations of Lewis Farm at Farms Work Wonders. Working closely with the Farm leadership team, this Farmer will participate in and understand all farm activities related to food production, sustainability, & youth education. This is a field based role, integral to ensuring timely production, crop observation and communication, and thoughtful youth agriculture education. This is a full time position.
