2024 Farm Crew Job Description (FT and PT positions available)

Crew Members are involved in multiple aspects of the farm including transplanting, weeding, harvesting, washing and packing produce.

If you have interest in or experience with tractors then you would also be helping with field prep, bed forming, transplanting, and cover cropping.

The farm work environment is uptempo and requires the physical capability to contribute daily in a rigorous, fast paced setting. Farm work is incredibly rewarding, yet physically demanding. Pay is commensurate with experience starting at $19/hour for people with applicable experience (applicable experience includes landscaping, greenhouse work, other jobs requiring physical labor, etc.). The season generally starts around March 15th and ends in the Fall, but the farm schedule is very flexible and we can work around your needs.

A valid driver's license and reliable transportation to and from the farm are required. We love what we do, and we want a farm crew that gets along well! We enjoy having fun while also getting a lot of stuff done at the same time!
