At Homefront Farmers, we are passionate about bringing the benefits of an edible organic garden to clients throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties. Our employees are committed to helping others grow delicious food and create a more sustainable future.
As a member of our growing team, you will plant and maintain a number of home vegetable gardens. We will provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure your assigned gardens are productive, healthy, and beautiful. You will communicate with clients and coworkers in person, over the phone, and through email to instruct, answer questions, and ensure expectations are met. Days can be long and challenging. However, we cultivate a supportive work environment and like to have fun, too.
We are looking for experienced gardeners and farmers who are able to step-in while the season is underway. We are interested in candidates who are able to work independently, communicate with clients, and who have an understanding of vegetable growing. Homefront Farmers is committed to education and our experienced staff will share their knowledge with you through mentorship and weekly lessons.
