I want to work with other businesses to hire collaboratively. Are there any creative options for me?

Sustainable farmers often seek more flexible options for meeting their diverse and fluctuating farm labor needs. Farm workers also struggle to piece together stable and rewarding employment opportunities. If this sounds familiar, we have a helpful resource for you. Check out our Farmers’ Guide to Shared Labor Arrangements (23pgs.), which explores one potential solution: coordinating farm labor across farms. Is such a solution feasible for your community? This guide explores such feasibility of this model through operations, ownership, business structure and financial viability. This resource was created in partnership with the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives.
