Description

This position is focused entirely on fruit and vegetable production — you won't be responsible for livestock, farm classes, or farmstand operations, unless you are interested! We're looking for someone who can independently manage a diverse mix of crops from planning through harvest.

Responsibilities

- Plan and execute crop rotations and succession planting across a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to keep something in production year-round
- Manage organic, no-spray growing practices, including soil fertility and pest management using organic-approved methods
- Set up, maintain, and manage irrigation for all growing areas
- Monitor crop health and adjust practices as needed across a diverse planting mix
- Harvest and sort at peak ripeness aligned to farmstand open hours
- Coordinate with the rest of the farm team — we're a small, close-knit operation and expect to hire a separate team member to help with farmstand sales and pack/wash duties, so being a strong collaborator matters. (If you're also comfortable helping with sales or pack/wash yourself, that's a real plus, though not required.)

Qualifications

What you bring:
- Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience growing vegetables, ideally across a wide variety of crops rather than a single specialty
- Experience with organic or no-spray growing methods
- Experience managing irrigation systems
- Experience with crop planning and succession planting
- Market garden experience is a strong plus
- A team player who communicates well and works well with others on a small farm crew
- Comfortable with physical outdoor work in all seasons

Benefits

Compensation: $30/hour, depending on experience
Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week, flexible schedule.
