Company description Employment At Woven Roots Farm
 

We are specifically looking to provide opportunities first and foremost to qualified marginalized individuals - including BIPOC and LGBTQ+.

Until our industry is reflective of all genders, sexualities, and races, we will strive to provide opportunity and equity to those who are not seen or given a chance in this white-centered, heteronormative industry.

Work at Woven Roots Farm is diverse and often includes greenhouse production, soil preparation, field crop planting, weeding, maintaining, and harvesting.  Employees are often called upon to do different jobs in all kinds of weather. This position will require some hard physical labor, creativity, and patience.
