We cultivate a wide variety of crops using hand tools and intensive growing techniques. Therefore the applicant will have the opportunity to learn how to successfully grow many different vegetables, while working with the land in a regenerative way that helps build the soil and provide nutrient dense crops. Top quality produce is very important to us and therefore attention to detail is a very important trait in the applicant.
The position will not require the applicate to attend markets, however we do offer on farm sales, as well as an annual Seedling Sale, assistance with sales on farm would potentially be part of the position.
Market Gardening is physically demanding, but very rewarding; watching food grow from seed to harvest, connecting with nature, witnessing wildlife, and providing quality vegetables to the community.
