Position Description and Responsibilities

We primarily seek to hire employees who are able to commit to a full time work
schedule for the duration of the farm season. We also offer year-round employment to a smaller group of employees who can commit to a full second year of full-time work on the farm. We additionally often hire several part-time employees for the summer months.

And our farm is made possible by the hard work of our crew. Each year we hire about twenty-five employees for the months of April through December with approximately 15 of those employees working with us year-round.

Employees participate in all aspects of work on the farm, from planting to weeding to harvesting, washing and packing. We offer an opportunity to work outside and learn many aspects of organic vegetable production. We think farm work is very rewarding, but it can also be very tiring and challenging. We work in all weather conditions throughout a long growing season. Therefore we look to hire individuals who are self-motivated, appreciate hard work, and have a sense of humor.
