Woodcraft. Making crafts such as these wood carvings for sale is one of many small work areas, which could be expanded according to interests of the worker(s).
Firewood processing. Valerie is a long term member of our Forestry crew. There is usually a waiting list to join this crew as many Oakers are seeking physically active outdoor work in winter.
Val splits firewood. We harvest and process all of our fuelwood and some saw logs from our land, sustainably. We harvest no more than grows back on our land. Tractors and other small woodlot implements help with the job.
Woodfolk work party. Oakers Viv & Sky help out with a Charlottesville communal house remodeling project. We at times do labor exchanges with other intentional communities.
Reading Window literacy program. Piper leads this volunteer area literacy program with much support from various Twin Oakers, volunteer and within our budgets.
Cut flowers business. Woody started this business and operated it for some years, growing and selling cut flowers locally in Charlottesville. As of 2012 Tigger-Tom has continued where Woody left off.

Cooking in the big kitchen. Viv & Audrey prepare dinner for 100 people in our main kitchen in Zhankoye building.
Cubicle, sorta. Twin Oaks has a modern computer network which the majority of us uses. A few of us do office work most or all of the time.
Sewage treatment. We manage our own sewage treatment. One person is licensed by the State to operate the plant; others help with daily chores.
