Company description

Muddy Farm was started in 2007. Dave bought a small piece of land that we discovered to be fairly muddy. Then Jessica bought land a few years later that we later discovered to be quiet rocky. But we have figured it out. For the most part and we are succeeding.We are hard working and dedicated. We focus on the quality of the soil. We like to follow the concepts of nutrient dense vegetable growing. We sell at one market in NYC and have figured out what out customers love. And we love to grow it for them. This will be the 12 season at that market.

Job description

We are looking for a full time farm worker with at least one full season of commercial vegetable growing. The job would start in March. We are flexible, if one wants to start in February there are some projects that can get done. We are a small organic farm (certified naturally grown not usda) that sells at a market in NYC year round. This will be our 12th season at the market. We grow on 4 -5 acres in Accord and Kerhonkson and have hens for eggs. The candidate should be comfortable working alone, self-motivated, observant, good at problem solving, able to follow directions and fun to be around. Tasks include:weeding, transplanting, harvesting, planting in the greenhouse, irrigation, feeding hens and collecting eggs and washing them. Carpentry a huge plus! As is tractor knowledge. We also have a commercial kitchen where we make pestos and sauces with our produce so work will be in there as well. We are a small operation so you'd be included in all the aspects of it. We are always open to hearing others' ideas and solutions. Its a good stepping stone for someone who wants to start their own farm and wants little management. It's a physically demanding job, working in all weather. Able to lift 50lbs is a must. Starting at $16/hour plus vegetable and eggs.
