Job description

Farmer Wanted
Snow Goose Produce is a seasonal, family owned farm/market that has been growing and selling organic produce for over 30 years in the beautiful Skagit Valley, WA (60 miles North of Seattle). We are hiring one individual to work with our farm manager to run our 3 acre organic farm for the 2018 season. These individuals will be solely responsible for the farming aspect of our indoor/outdoor market. The position begins early March through mid October 2018 and is full time and hourly paid.

Ideal applicants will arrive with prior background experience in raising diversified vegetables for market. The individual will be expected to participate in all aspects of the farm, from crop planning and seed ordering, to cultivation, harvest, and prep for sale. Applicants should be self-motivated and able to effectively work hard on their own, as well as organized, friendly, and excited about farming! In return, this position will offer an individual the chance to expand their skills and experience, develop their own growing strategies, and hopefully learn a ton about organic farming!
The employee will be expected to work hard, up to 50 hours/week during high season (July/August), be punctual, work and think independently, and perform any jobs required around the farm stand including some odd jobs and grounds maintenance. All applicants should be in good physical condition and able to perform the hard work that goes into farming. Preference will be given to those who may be able to return for the 2019 season.

Snow Goose Produce is able to offer a more flexible schedule than many production farms, plus a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and a great workplace!
