SUMMARY
Farm Crew Members are involved in all aspects of the farm, including crop production (planting, maintaining, harvesting, washing, and packing), CSA and restaurant deliveries, and vending at farmer’s markets.  Applicants should know that we are a production farm with a strong focus on hard-work, efficiency, and getting things done.

  • Be able to work on your feet outdoors, in hot and cold weather, up to 8 hours
  • Accurately follow directions
  • Maintain a steady work pace
  • Have a strong work ethic and ability to see jobs through to completion
  • Show leadership skills
  • Be able to think critically                       
  • Enjoy cooking and talking about it

The schedule for the majority of the year looks like this:
 
M-F 7am-3pm (flexible end times, depending on how many hours employees would like to work)
Saturday 5/6am – 1/3pm (depending on which farmer’s market you attend)
