Farm Assistant (7280)

For the 2025 season, North Valley Organics is looking for qualified individuals to join our team as Farm Assistants. Farm Assistants will be included in all aspects of fruit and vegetable production including field prep, planting, harvesting, marketing, infrastructure work and farm planning. We are also starting small flocks of sheep and chickens. Farm assistants may occasionally be asked to help with these projects.

North Valley Organics is a farm located on three urban agricultural plots in Albuquerque’s North Valley. We grow certified organic, fresh market fruit and vegetables for sale to local school districts, CSAs and farmer’s markets in central New Mexico. We are a USDA-certified training site for those interested in principles of soil health and organic agriculture. We grow using a living mulch, minimal till cover-crop system that allows us to farm intensively while simultaneously feeding our soil. We are also deeply committed to growing and saving our own seeds.

We are seeking individuals with a long term interest in small-scale sustainable agriculture in New Mexico. People on our team must be both self-directed and willing to learn, able to manage their own work when necessary and also work as part of a team. Any candidate MUST be able to repeatedly lift heavy objects (25-50 lbs) and perform regular and frequent squats. They must be at least 18 years old and be able to perform manual labor in challenging weather conditions. All Farm Assistants are required to have health insurance.
