We are hiring part and full timers for 2024 to add to our small crew starting May - Nov. Ideally, we need people for Thurs, Fri, Sat. We will train you intensively in the beginning then you’ll be unleashed to work mostly independently. You will never be asked to spray organic pesticides because we don’t believe in doing that although many organic farms around here definitely do. Some workers are two to six times faster than the next worker and we are looking for those fast paced, high caliber workers to join our team. We are not just another farm looking for bodies to chew up and spit out, we are a farm looking for meaningful and symbiotic relationships. We want you to join us, and a handful of other farms in the area, as we work towards a local food system that doesn’t exploit its workers. By working for us, you’ll learn how to farm profitably and sustainably.
