Our farm season runs mid-April through early-mid October.

Farming can be hard work while being repetitive and requiring a lot of attention to detail.  Make sure you are comfortable with the thought of weeding for hours or hauling and washing thousands of roots in an afternoon, even in cold or rainy weather!  You will be dirty, wet, cold and tired at times.

Also be aware of the fact that we end up spending hours on our knees - those with significant knee injuries or pain might have a hard time.  There is no good way to efficiently do the work we do without being on our knees while we harvest and hand weed.

Employees will get to take home plenty of produce!

I no longer offer internships.  My crew is critical to my success and to my ability to pull this off, and I have come to the conclusion that that relationship deserves paid recompense.  That said, I love to teach what I know and can talk about farming longer than anyone wants to hear!

 

FARM CREW

Duties include the full range of small-scale farming work, such as bed preparation, transplanting, weeding, harvesting and washing produce.  Employees will be trained in the use of hand tools and small machinery as necessary.  Our farm crew usually consists of 5-7 employees. Employees must be reasonably physically fit and willing to work outdoors in all weather.  A positive curious attitude is a plus. 
Prior experience in farming is not necessary but we will prioritize applicants who have experience with outdoor physical labor.
Most employees work 5 days a week for an average of 40 hours.  You will be expected to work a little later most Fridays when harvests run late.  There is the potential for working Saturday market sales but this is not a prerequisite.  
Base pay is $14/hour. 

Teenagers 16 and older are welcome to apply.​​

 

CREW SUPERVISOR 

We are looking for a Crew Supervisor to help with the day-to-day running of the farm. 
This job will consist of basic farm labor as well as helping to train and manage the Farm Crew.  The Crew Supervisor will work closely with the Farmer but also be expected to work independently with the crew such that the farmer can focus on other big-picture projects. Ideally the Crew Supervisor will also help with problem-solving the day-to-day management of crops and systems.  I am looking for someone who has ideas and is excited about small scale sustainable agriculture!
Work will be M-F for 40-50 hours a week, and the crew supervisor will be expected to work a few extra hours when needed on Fridays.

Looking for someone with demonstrated experience with small scale sustainable agriculture (1-3 years) as well as experience with managing a crew.  Some experience with small machinery such as walking tractors and flame weeders is preferred. 

The ideal candidate will have a positive attitude, enjoy physical work, and be intellectually curious.  
Compensation starts at $15/hour.

ASSISTANT FLOWER FARMER/FARM CREW

This is a new position for us!  As flower farming becomes more integral to the farm as a whole, we find ourselves needing more experienced help with the flowers. 

This position will be a hybrid farm crew/floral crew position.  While some duties will be basic farm crew tasks - weeding, planting, harvesting - this crew member will likely spend at least 50% of their time working with our Flower Lead on all things flower farming.  This will primarily include harvesting and bouquet making but will offer exposure to the range of flower farming duties.

We are looking for someone who has specific experience with floral design - we spend hours making market bouquets and arrangements and want someone who has demonstrated skills and can jump in and efficiently design and produce bouquets that fit the aesthetic of our farm.  Please note that events and installations are NOT what we focus on - we are market farmers producing high quality and varied seasonal bouquets and small arrangements for direct-to-consumer sales.  This would be the perfect position for someone with design/floristry experience looking to make the leap into flower farming.  Please submit a portfolio or other examples of design work.

As with the other positions, expect to work 5 days a week for about 40 hours and to put in a few extra hours on Fridays.

Compensation starts at $15/hour.
