We are hiring for our 2017 season.  

ASSISTANT FARMER (one or two positions)

We plan to hire one or two assistant farmers this season to help manage our 45 acres of vegetable crops.  
– The primary position is FT.
– The secondary position will be FT or PT.

• You will encounter a broad range of interesting machinery, crops, jobs, and responsibilities.  Expect to be involved with tillage, crop establishment, cultivation, spraying, irrigation, and many other tasks.  
• Experience with operation and maintenance of farm machinery is required.  
• We strongly value experience with machinery repair, as well as irrigation, carpentry, and pesticide application.  It is helpful if the candidate has a CDL or has experience driving a larger truck.  Applicants should have some of these skills but it’s not required for an individual to have all of them.  A willingness to learn is essential.
• The assistant farmer(s) will work independently much of the time, but will join our harvest crew at times.  
• Candidates must be physically fit.
• The primary position is a good next step for someone with 3 to 10+ years experience operating farm machinery.  
• The primary position is 40 to 60 hours per week during the growing season, March/April – November.  Part-time work will be available during the 2017-18 winter.
• The secondary position can be FT or PT, based on the applicant’s skills.
• We do not offer on-farm housing but affordable rentals are available in nearby towns.
• We want at least one of the two assistant farmers to live nearby, and will give preference to candidates who choose to live within 15 miles of our farm.
• Compensation: $14 – $16/hour plus a possible year-end bonus.  Catered lunch two days per week plus lots of organic veggies to take home.
