Practicing organic, no-till, small-scale intensive agriculture and eating super yummy fruits and veggies while doing it. Job description

Come join us (the two adults living at Carrot Corner) on our tucked away 6 acres in the middle of N. Amherst to help with the day-to-day of the farm, now in its third year, as well as with the planning throughout the growing season.

- enjoy being outside with plants and dirt all day

- have prior farming experience in a no-till, low-spray system

- be comfortable working independently much of the time, and keeping things going when we are away

- able to comfortably lift 50 lbs (compost, fertilizer sacs, etc.)

- interested in helping with our social media presence and expanding our markets into wholesale

We are looking for 25 - 40 hrs/ week from mid-April through mid-October, with the possibility of starting earlier. Exact hours negotiable, but will include 6 am – 9 am Saturday mornings during the harvest season to prep for the Amherst Farmers Market. Salary between $16 - $20 / hr depending on level of experience. Benefits include 1 week paid vacation, a $100 / month stipend towards health insurance, and delicious veggies to take home.
