Full Time Part Time Help on Organic Vegetable Farm
Job Description
We are looking for part-time help on our small diversified organic vegetable farm in Buena Vista.
Work would be 2-3 days per week May through October. One day would be on-farm work (either Mondays or Thursdays), and one day would be working at our farmers market booth (Saturdays). There is also an option to add a third work day on Fridays starting in July. This would consist of harvesting flowers, making bouquets, and hand watering greenhouse plants.
On-farm work would encompass all areas of production and harvest. Typical activities would include weeding, harvesting, washing/packing vegetables, irrigating, and greenhouse seeding.
Previous farm or other outdoor physical labor experience preferred. Valid driver’s license, strong attention to detail, ability to work independently and on a team, and an eagerness to learn are all essential. Must be able to lift 50 lbs. Farm work is fast paced and rewarding but also physically demanding. Speed, endurance, and a nice attitude are all strongly valued.
On-farm days would typically be 9am-3pm. Market days would typically be 7am-2pm.
