EMPLOYMENT

2025 APPLICATIONS

All positions are filled for the 2025 season!

REQUIREMENTS

  • Experience working with flowers and making bouquets is a big plus!

  • Farming experience a plus but not required

  • Self-motivated, organized and detail oriented

  • Hardworking and prepared to work in any weather

  • Ability to problem solve and be flexible and focused under pressure

  • Excellent work ethic and positive attitude

  • Punctual, reliable transportation to the farm and valid driver’s license

  • Commitment to maintain our standard of high quality products while working as efficiently as possible

  • Interested in learning about no-till, small-scale, regenerative farming

JOB DESCRIPTION

  • Sowing, transplanting, harvesting, bed prep, trellising, mulching

  • Making weekly compost and compost tea - applying to crops/fields

  • 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.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Vegetables and flowers from the farm

  • Opportunity to visit regional farms throughout the season

  • ​Workers Compensation

  • Funds available to access educational events and resources

  • Lunch is provided on Fridays starting in June

  • An extra perk - you can swim in the Assawaga River during hot summer days!

    • Why you’re seeking to work here
