Employment Opportunities

Position Type: Part-time (20-25 hrs), seasonal

Compensation: $20.81 per hour

Dates: March 2nd- October 15th 2026, some flexibility in start date

Our 1.25 acre farm grows food year-round to stock our food pantry with delicious, nutrient dense vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The farm crew member will be involved with a wide variety of farming tasks including harvesting, preparing beds, weeding, and trellising.

We host weekly volunteer work parties and our crew works closely with regular volunteers. We also have potluck lunches with farm volunteers, and throw pizza parties once a month where we invite volunteers and friends alike to make and enjoy woodfired pizza from our cob oven. 

While we strive for a high standard in our growing spaces and of our team, we also believe that farming is impossible without balance. We try to weave fun into our days and focus on gratitude for our ability to be outside and among the wildlife that surrounds us. We expect diligent, detail oriented hard work, and we also want to foster an environment that understands the whole person.
