Farm Work

We are now accepting applicants for our 2025 season! 

We hire a crew of three to four employees each year, typically from mid-January through mid-December.  Compensation includes a small hourly wage, educational lectures, and produce.  We’re particularly interested in working with prospective farmers and gardeners – training the next generation of organic growers is an important part of our mission.

Our crew works on Tuesdays and Fridays (8:00-4:00pm), and one to two Saturdays per month (6:00-1:00pm) We begin the day harvesting produce for market and spend the afternoons sowing, transplanting, inoculating mushrooms, pruning trees, building fences, and other farm maintenance projects. During lunch, Tom leads us through farming topics, inspired by what the crew wants to learn more about. 

We’re also active in CRAFT, an association of area organic growers and their staff which meets monthly to tour other farms and to share information on organic agriculture.

We encourage our crew to take responsibility for many parts of the farm operation – from production to marketing – in order to acquire first-hand experience in the decisions needed to run a small, diversified organic farm.
