Interested in joining a diverse farm crew for the 2022 season? We are seeking a few new folks to round out our incredible farm field crew. We are currently hiring for a full-time and part-time seasonal farm crew position to work at our Montague and Granby locations.

The farm is pretty big and you can expect to do a wide variety of tasks; a farm of this size offers a lot to learn within the different departments too. While the majority of the work for this position will be the harvesting of the 40+ varieties of vegetables we grow, field crew will be expected to help with hand weeding, hoeing, transplanting, row cover, tomato trellising and bulk crop harvest plus anything else that may pop up; you will rarely find yourself in the same field every day. The crew works hard but ultimately has a lot of fun.

Well qualified and interested applicants can be considered for a crew leader position. Crew leaders will daily be given a harvest list or list of field tasks to complete and assigned a crew of 3-4 people. They will be expected to help motivate their crew, move them from task to task, and complete the list as efficiently and timely as possible, with oversight from farm managers.

We highly encourage people with previous farming experience to apply but are willing to train the right people from scratch.

Requirements

  • Applicants MUST have a valid driver’s license to be considered for the position; no exceptions.
  • A desire and willingness to work outside (in the rain and the heat & cold too!)

Necessary Skills

  • Must be able to lift 50 lbs. repeatedly and easily, and work physically all day
  • Must work well in teams
  • Must have a good attitude and be willing to learn

Schedule & Hours

We are looking to take people on throughout the months of May and June, and prefer people willing to work through November. The season ends anywhere between the first week of November and Thanksgiving (with hours decreasing then as the days get shorter).

In Montague the hours are generally, Monday – Thursday 7 am – 6 pm and Friday 7 am – 4 pm or 4:30 pm, with optional work available on Sundays. In Granby the hours are generally, Monday – Friday 7 am – 5:30 pm, with optional work available on the weekends. We are looking for people to work at least 3-4 days a week; though full-time Monday through Friday availability is preferred.

Other Perks

  • All the organic veggies you can eat!
  • Fresh air and exercise
  • An open, friendly environment where your feedback is welcomed
  • Opportunities to advance and build on your skills
  • Spanish language practice
