Bonnie Warndahl is interesed in working on a partnership with an individual who would like to get started in cut flowers and/or agritourism on her 5-acre operation in western Wisconsin's Dunn County. Warndahl would like to expand her bouquet subscriptions offered to the Eau Claire, Wis., area and provide more on-farm experiences such as u-pick, classes and workshops, dinners on the farm, and private parties. The right farmer has a drive to learn, is self-motivated, and has at least some farming/gardening experience, although Warndahl is willing to fill in educational gaps. The farm is 5 acres, with about 1.5 acres in flower production and the rest is mostly wooded. Responsibilities would be a shared workload, managing the farm and helping with the agritourism business, as well as helping to maintain the vegetable garden. Pay would likely be a profit-share based on level of commitment/hours worked, as well as personal access to flowers and veggies. Warndahl would prefer to work with someone who can commit to at least two-to-three full days per week. Meals would be provided on days worked. Overnight housing is likely available most weeks in an Airbnb space Monday-Thursday if candidate is willing to help with turning over the space for weekend guests.
