JOB DESCRIPTION

  • Working at markets (register, restocking, setting/packing up) * Full-Time only

  • Note that if you are serious about farming and learning about how a farm works, we highly recommend you apply for the full-time position. You miss out on a lot as a part-time worker since a lot happens and grows in the 4 days/week that you aren't on the farm, including seeing how our vegetables are sold. We also cannot give many responsibilities to part-time workers for the same reason so career development will be slower for returning workers.

  • Funds available to access educational events and resources

  • Lunch is provided on Fridays starting in June
