What’s it all about?

The Farm is a weekly meeting for Cape Cod’s freelancers and independent workers. We chat about the issues of self-employment and enjoy some human contact after working alone all week.

It’s also an opportunity to gain encouragement and help developing one’s own companies, get work referrals, create partnerships, meet interesting people and find out about the latest technology online. Plus there’s beer.

We’re friendly and casual group, so don’t feel intimidated. It’s not a boozefest (although beer is drunk), nor are we a group of hard-core beardies. Instead, we’re a bunch of friendly people in the same boat — trying to make a solo living on Cape Cod. The Farm lets us support each other in that effort.

History

The Farm started in May of 2008, when Dave Caolo (a technology consultant in Brewster) built this site in a frenzy of late-night inspiration, as many freelancers do.
