Adam’s Farm was established by Adam Mentzer  in 2011 in Bloomingdale, Ga; he expanded to St. Helena Island approximately two years ago. Adam’s Farm grows a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers year round utilizing farming practices that reflect a respect for the earth and future generations. The produce and floral varieties are available for purchase on a seasonal basis to retail and wholesale customers.

Finding consistent, conscientious farm workers has been a challenge.  Community Bible Church was provided to me as a potential contact for assistance in connecting with individuals possessing a good work ethic and desire for employment.  As a small business owner Adam is looking for part time (under thirty hours/week), dedicated farm help. Generally the work week is Monday through Friday, but large orders/events may lead to requested work on select Saturdays.  There is flexibility regarding the hours scheduled for work, with an expectation that once scheduled -the time is adhered to.  Possessing access to reliable transportation and the ability to commute is necessary.

The general duties of farm workers will include, but are not limited to:

• Planting – seeds and starters, weeding, harvesting and washing produce as necessary
• Packing, filling and cross checking orders with accuracy
• Loading and unloading trucks and trailers for delivery
• Feeding and caring for animals-miniature donkeys, pigs, goats, turkeys and peacocks
• Picking flowers and creating bouquets
• Farm and equipment upkeep – cleaning, maintenance
• Basic knowledge and application of  building skills

 A delivery driver is also needed to deliver produce orders to restaurants in Hilton Head, Bluffton and Savannah,  Deliveries are made on Wednesday early evening and Thursday mornings. A driver is expected to provide his/her own automobile, have a clean driving record and be dependable.  The driver will be paid by the hour and for gas consumption on a per mile basis. Duties include cross checking the order for accuracy, carrying the order into the location, delivering the order statement, and returning the payment back to Adam. 

Per Adam, compensation for a general farm worker begins at $13.00 -14.00 per/hour, based upon experience, performance and attitude. There is potential for an increase in pay, once trained. An employee that develops supervisory skills will be considered for such a position with a commensurate increase in earnings.  A delivery driver will earn a base pay of $14.00 per hour with fuel paid per milage. 

All categories of employees will receive the appropriate training with a focus upon safety. Employee’s must be able to safely lift 50+ pounds as needed.  Prior to any hire, there will be an interview in which each potential employee is met directly. Please note, in addition to English as the primary language, Adam also speaks Spanish at a bilingual proficiency.

Should you have any questions, and/or further information is needed,  please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.  My contact information is below.

Thank you,

Debbie

BJU Press has offered the Stanford 10 achievement test for years. However, due to the test’s scoring software being discontinued, the Stanford test will no longer be available after April 15, 2022. Additionally, you will not be able to schedule Stanford testing after May 10, 2022. (This refers to the paper test CBCCA has administered, not the online version. )

With that information at hand, CBC will NO LONGER offer an in-person test administration of the Stanford. However, the option remains to take the Stanford online, at home, which many of you are already doing. INFO HERE: https://www.setontesting.com/product/stanford-10-online/

Please let me know if you have any questions. As a reminder, CBCCA also accepts the IOWA , PASS, SAT, and ACT tests.

Bring a dish to share!

We will get our food between 6-6:30 and then have 30 minute discussion about curriculum and some ways to decide what is best for your family. Then from 7-9 you can take a look at some of the ones that have been helpful to our homeschool families.

There will be tables set up with displays of traditional and non-traditional curriculum as well as members of our church available to discuss CBCCA Co-Op, Highlands Latin and Classical Conversations programs.

We will also have mentor moms available to listen to some of your questions and concerns.

Come find new friends and help for homeschooling!

“The Scarlet Pimpernel” is an original, full-scale musical about a swashbuckling (but very unsuspecting) hero whose mission is to rescue innocent aristocrats from the guillotine during the French Revolution. It’s a wonderful and exciting production for older kids and adults that will have you thinking about “the price of freedom” in a whole new way. We do have a recommended age limit of 6+ due to a scene involving a beheading. The production will be showing Friday nights at 7:00 and Saturday afternoons at 2:00 from April 8th-30th. Group rates (for a group of 20 or more) are $22.50 each, saving everyone $10 per ticket! Tickets are going quickly, but I would be more than happy to set up a group of seats with the discount for anyone who is interested!

The production will be showing at the Logos Theatre, 80 School Street, Taylors, SC 29687. Parking is available at the theatre. For any questions, please call us at 864-268-9342.

If anyone is interested in CIU I have some info such as financial aid, bookstore discount, admissions info etc at my desk…FCFS! Claudia

Now that I (the Parents) am in charge, what should my child learn.

Curriculum planning.
So now you are in charge. You have taken your responsibilities back from the schools, teachers,
crossing guards, cafeteria workers, janitor, head-teacher, dean, disciplinarian, school nurse, vice
principal, receptionist, principal, district superintend, board of education, dept of health education and
welfare, secretary of education, Bill and Malinda Gates, Carnegie, Rockefeller and a 1000 other
foundation and organizations that were deciding the future of your children.
What do you do? Maybe you are thinking that you can follow the states educational plan, only do it
better!
Yes, you can do that. I would point out that is a very low bar to jump. The system is designed to
make students graduate whether they learned anything or not. Also the system is not designed for your
child’s benefit. It’s designed for the benefit of “Big Business”.
Besides, you are not raising an “egg Mac-Muffin”. You are raising a unique individual, a one of a kind,
Someone this world has never seen before nor will ever see again. Maybe his/her education should be
as unique and as individual as he/she is. That is what this/these talks are about.
How do you create the educational curriculum for your son(s)/daughter(s) that is created specifically
for him/her.
The song “the Greatest Love of all” says,
“I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way”
I disagree. We are our children’s future. And we have to lead the way.
This is a talk, a discussion, not lecture. After all, would I lecture the Secretary of Education about
curriculum? Nor will I lecture you, since you are the secretary of education for your children.
You can create a learning experience for your children that the state could never do, nor would ever do.
You can do this because you know your children, and care about their future as a human being.
So let’s chat and share ideas.
