Join our crew for 2024:
Description
May-November
Part-Time (~16 hrs/week)
17-19$/hr (DOE)
Tons of vegetables
The majority of your work over the season will be prepping beds for planting, harvesting, and washing. You’ll also be weeding/cultivating, pruning, and doing other farm chores. We have really high standards for quality, cleanliness & uniformity so having a keen eye for maintaining those standards is really important. We try to work with urgency, but always with intention and safety first.
Hours:
This position is for part-time, ideally, 2 days (16 hrs/week). Start and end times are somehwat flexible. Ideal days are Tuesday or Friday.
Qualifications:
Farming experience, outdoor physical labor, or kitchen work will be very applicable to this position. Farming is physical work and requires the ability to repeatedly bend and lift 50# safely off the ground. Above all, a strong desire to learn farming makes up for lack of experience.
The ability to work in hot weather and some rain is necessary, but we always put safety first above all else. Keeping a positive attitude in hot/cold weather and wearing appropriate clothing is key!
Farm work is a craft like any other and it will take time and dedication to learn. Ask lots of questions and take ownership of your work. We’re a small farm that has a long way to go and appreciate positive criticism to improve processes at the farm.
Being able to keep pace without supervision is really important to the work. Bring tons of focus, creativity, good attitude and hustle and you’ll be an ideal candidate.
You’ll also need to arrange for your own transportation to and from the farm.
We strive to be inclusive and create a safe space for all identities and backgrounds.
