We are hiring for 2026
Farm Crew positions!

IMG_5904.jpeg

Our farm season runs mid-April through 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 sometimes end up spending hours on our knees - those with significant knee injuries or pain might have a hard time.  

There is limited housing available on site, please inquire if that is something you need.

Employees will get to take home plenty of produce!

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 6-7 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 $15/hour, more available DOE

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 (2-3 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 $18/hour, DOE.

ASSISTANT FLOWER FARMER

This position will be a hybrid farm crew/floral crew position.  This person's primary role will be working with the flower farming part of our operation, but they will jump in with the vegetable farm crew when they are needed.  Primary duties will be managing and harvesting flowers and helping make bouquets for market.

We are looking for someone who is interested in farming and not just floral design, though we want someone who can jump in and efficiently  help us 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.  

Ideally an applicant has some experience with both farming and floral work but we are open to training the right person.  

Schedule can be a little more flexible but expect to work about 40 hours a week.  A willingness to put in 3-4 hours on Saturday or Sunday most weekends for flower harvests is ideal.

Compensation $15-$18/hour based on experience.

TO APPLY

Send an email explaining why you want to work with us as well as a resume to ancokell@gmail.com.  If you don't have a resume feel free to email and let me know what you've done related to farm work and why you want this job!  Qualified applicants will have a follow-up interview. 

Our farm is committed to acceptance and openness to everyone regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age or gender identity.  We strive to create a safe, non-judgmental work environment.  All are welcome to apply!
