Well, look no further. 

Here at Ottawa Farm Fresh, our tight knit team of world class farmers work together to grow and sell top quality organic vegetables, mushrooms, and cut flowers…  all this literally minutes from downtown Ottawa.

We’re a team on an epic mission: To change the world by grounding our community in the realness of human wholeness through a direct connection with nature and good wholesome organic food.

If you’ve ever dreamed about what it would be like to be a high-performance, mission driven team, well, it’s time to reach out now.

Required Superpowers:

• Physical strength and endurance to work in the hot sun, the cold rain, day after day, doing the gloriously repetitive work of growing food. ( and the ability to lift 50 lbs repetitively.)
• Positive, HIGH VIBE energy, enthusiasm,  and a sense of humor!
• Dynamism and the ability to work a startup environment (ie.. building the airplane as we fly it…) You need to be comfortable with change and a certain degree of organized chaos.
• Clear and concise communication style.
• Fast, efficient, and ergonomic work ethic. 
• Equanimity and adaptability to thrive in a rapidly evolving, dynamic work environment.  
• Curiosity and a desire to learn and continuously improve work methods.
