Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does YOU NEED A FARM GIRL do?
We provide practical, hands-on support for farms, homesteads, and gardens. Our services include irrigation setup and maintenance, weed management, soil health improvement, and educational courses to help you build your own skills.
Are you available year-round?
We are available year-round, depending on the project. Our tasks shift as the seasons shift, so we schedule strategically for the best results. We operate year-round, adapting our services to the season — from irrigation setup in spring to soil prep in winter.
Can I work for you?
I have a passionate crew who loves to work with their hands. If you are interested in joining my crew, please contact me to apply.
Will you be using your own tools?
We opt for using our own tools and supplies whenever possible, but some tools are specialized for each project and might need to be a part of your supply storage, which is built into our bidding system.
Do you work with both small and large properties?
Yes! Whether you have a small backyard garden, a homestead, or a full-scale farm, we tailor our approach to fit your property’s size and unique needs.
How do you approach weed management?
We combine prevention, manual removal, and targeted treatments to keep weeds under control while protecting your soil and crops. Our methods can be conventional or organic — your choice.
What types of educational courses do you offer?
Our courses cover topics such as tractor skills and rug braiding. We offer hands-on training, as well as customized courses.
Do you offer consulting services?
Yes. If you’d like expert guidance without full-service labor, we can assess your property, create a plan, and walk you through step-by-step implementation.
Are your methods organic?
We can work fully organically if that’s your preference. We’ll discuss your goals and choose the best methods for your situation.
How far will you travel for on-site work?
Our primary service area is Central Oregon, including Bend, Redmond, and Sisters. We’re happy to discuss travel for larger projects or training sessions. Travel fees may apply.
How do I get started?
You can reach out via our contact form or call us directly to schedule an initial consultation. We’ll discuss your needs, assess your property, and give you a clear proposal.
Who will be working on my project?
Either I (Heidi) or one of my teammates will be working on your project. My crew is responsive and careful, because they are passionate about their work.
