"Creating the Space"
In order to have a functional, productive, an healthy farm, there must first be installed a sturdy and capable infrastructure. This requires a strong team of souls to build the many and varied systems and structures which are required for a farm to be succesful and abundant. This is the purpose of the "Creating the Space" program. Challenged Young Adults, Veterans, and others who are in a phase of reclamation and/or recovery in which they have already cultivated the ability to consistently maintain their physical, emotional, and social health ~ as well as work well within a team ~ will be given the opportunity to be a part of "Creating the Space".
"Work & Win"
There is plenty of work to be done on a farm during the summer months. Cultivating, planting, weeding, watering, improving and maintaining equipment and infrastructure, canning, eventual harvest, and everything else which must be done, which is considerable. During the months of May through September, when the need for healthy farm hands is at its peak, is when Fala Farms will have the opportunity for challenged youth and young adults, and others who qualify, to be a part of the "Work & Win" program. This program creates an amazing opportunity for challenged youth and young adults to put all of their endless energy to good use as part of a symbiotic relationship in which they have the opportunity to learn excellent trade skills, learn how to work well within a team, experience the joy of hard work and accomplishing goals, and to heal with the land and people who genuinely care about them, their experiences, and their future.
"The Long Game"
As it often happens, there are those individuals, who once they have tasted the joy and peace of living on the farm, will wish they could stay. Well, The Fala Farms Reclamation Project has a program for them as well. In order to perpetuate and replicate The Fala Farms, Self-sufficient, Homesteading Model, there will be a need for special types of people who are willing and able to commit to "The Long Game". A program that at its most brief, lasts 18 months; and at its longest time scale, is permanent . . . It is these people who will be given the opportunity to either own their own farm within the Fala Farms Community; to stay on as long term, ongoing, or permanent farm hands; or to serve in other capacities. In every case, these fine and courageous souls will be part of the core of creating new farms, and new programs for the health, wealth, and growth of The Fala Farms, Self-sufficient, Homesteading Movement, which will
help to heal and reclaim
