Are you ready to deepen your career in farming and work alongside a small, skilled team of dedicated growers? We’re looking for a motivated individual with at least one full season of vegetable farming experience to join our team for the upcoming season.

We are a successful, Certified Organic and Regenerative Farm producing over 50 varieties of vegetables for a thriving CSA, farmers’ markets, and wholesale accounts. Our farm is known for being focused, efficient, and well-organized — with systems in place to support excellence in production and a strong sense of purpose behind our work.

This position is ideal for someone who is serious about farming as a profession, not just a season. You’ll be part of a tight-knit crew of trained farmers who care deeply about their craft. Expect a fast-moving environment, clear expectations, and opportunities to grow your skills within a high-functioning team.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a minimum of one full season on a vegetable farm
• Thrives in a structured, team-based setting
• Is eager to build a career in organic/ regenerative farming
• Communicates well and brings focus, energy, and a great attitude
• Is comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions

Bonus points for experience with:

• Harvesting and post-harvest handling
• Greenhouse seeding or nursery work
• Irrigation or tractor cultivation
• CSA packing or market sales 

What you can expect:

• A beautiful, productive farm environment with high standards and strong systems
• A serious and respectful team that values both precision and camaraderie
• Clear training, steady feedback, and the chance to grow your responsibilities
• The satisfaction of growing truly excellent vegetables, every single week

This is a physically active, hands-on role that requires attention to detail, a steady pace, and a love for purposeful outdoor work. If you’re looking for a farm where you can build on your experience, learn alongside other professionals, and contribute to something meaningful — we’d love to hear from you.
