Ignatius Farm is part of the Ignatius Jesuit Centre in Guelph, Ontario. Farm work is demanding! You will sweat and have sore muscles, but will also find the work to be meaningful and rewarding. Both the farmers and farm assistants provide field leadership, but you will also do so over the course of the season. We prioritize clear communications through team meetings, using radios, daily job boards, and building up the team with knowledge. We expect everyone to contribute their best.
