Company description

Sun Circle Farm is a intensive Certified Organic woman-owned and run farm in beautiful Palmer, Alaska. 2021 will be our 11th year in production. We grow multiple successions of vegetable and flower crops on about 2 1/2 acres including several high tunnels. We use techniques such as crop rotation and year-long fallow, green manure and cover crops, and innovative small ag tools and techniques like occultation, flame weeding, and minimal tillage, all with an eye to soil health as the basis of our success.
Our produce is offered through a small CSA, two large weekend markets in Anchorage, a thriving Farm Stand, and sales to a local restaurant. We strive for a positive, supportive work environment with plenty of opportunity for on-the-job learning and time for weekly yoga sessions.

Job description

Work consists of basic farm labor such as transplanting, weeding, harvesting and processing produce. Employees will be trained in use of hand tools and small machinery. Our farm crew usually consists of 7-8 employees some of whom work primarily on harvest days. Employees must be physically fit and willing to work outdoors in all weather. A positive curious attitude is a plus.
Prior experience in farming is not necessary but we will prioritize applicants who have experience with physical labor.
Most employees work 5 days a week for a total of 40-50 hours. There is the potential for working Saturday market sales but this is not a prerequisite. Employees will have the opportunity to take time off to explore the wonder of an Alaskan summer.
Base pay starts at $10.34/hour with higher pay dependent on prior experience. Our farm season runs early May through September.
