Job Description
Farm Crew members are the foundation of the farm’s growing season. Each task Farm Crew members carry out is critical in all aspects of food production. Tasks include but are not limited to: seeding, transplanting, weeding, field preparation, crop maintenance, harvesting, washing, and packing produce. Each Farm Crew member will have the same core of field and wash/pack responsibilities, with additional roles to add depth to each worker’s daily/weekly job. If interested in taking on specialized roles, there are different levels of responsibility, experience needed, and some have specific time requirements so do not fit with all schedules. The content of the daily, weekly, and monthly schedule of tasks are influx with the seasonal needs of the farm. Task repetition and flow is part of the natural farm rhythm: This position starts in April, May, and June with focus on seeding, transplanting, and field preparation. The position becomes more harvest, wash, and crop maintenance focused in July, August, and September. The last shift in priority happens in October and early November on field cleaning (crop termination and cover cropping), high tunnel flipping (transplanting, field prep). There is the option for winter farming work December-March given by seniority and interest in working the following season. On a weekly to monthly-basis, field-focused hires may be asked to rotate into our on-site Farm Stand, depending on the yearly crew. Responsibilities in a retail environment may include opening and/or closing the farm stand starting as early as 7:00am and as late as 6:30pm, communicating with retail and wholesale clients, stocking and maintaining the displays, keeping inventory, and working at the register. Specialized Roles: This option adds specialized roles to core work. Each position can include as few or as many specialized roles as makes sense based on experience and schedule at Farm Manager’s discretion. This will be a discussion during the interview process and in the early part of the growing season. Example specialized roles available: Greenhouse seeding and care IPM Assistant High Tunnel Crop Specialist Field Crop Specialist Delivery liaison to wholesale accounts Farm Stand Shift and Specialists Equipment Operator Field and Irrigation Specialist Flower Specialist Wash and Pack Assistant
