Company description
Bread and Puppet Theater is a 53 year old political puppet theater company based on a former dairy farm in Glover, Vermont. We spend the summers in residence on the farm and tour during the rest of the year. We try to grow most of the fresh food we eat in the summer and store for the winter as well.
Job description
Bread and Puppet Theater, located in Glover, Vermont, is looking for an experienced organic gardener to work from mid-April thru mid-October 2017 to manage the theater's gardens which total about an acre. At the height of the season (June-August) the farm feeds 80-150 people. Storage crops and preserves from the garden are provisions for a small company of 2-12 during the rest of the year.
Applicants should have experience with both managing a garden (rotating crops, harvesting, taking care of farm equipment and tools), as well as volunteers. Good communication and organizational skills are a must. This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in living communally in a vibrant, socially active artist collective. Food, housing, and a small stipend are provided.
Ideally, someone interested in this position would be able to come this summer to see the farm and meet the current farmer.
