Job description
We are young farmers learning to grow in an area with a short season— everyday we make mistakes and learn to farm better. We want to foster an environment where you can grow and learn with us. This will be our fourth season farming in Sheridan.
We are looking for help with planting and harvesting mainly. Someone who likes to work outside or has a passion for plants would be a great fit. Some days are hot, require heavy lifting and long days. Some days are amazing you can pick what you plant. A positive attitude goes a long way and that’s something we are looking for in a worker.
Our hope is that you could commit to working at the very least 30 hours per week. We have the ability to find you affordable housing if that is a need (around 200$ per month).
Having transportation would be a necessary as we lease two properties and sometimes work on both during one day.
We are happy to answer any questions you might have about day to day work duties. Let’s talk on email or arrange a time to chat if you have questions.
***we are looking to hire help immediately for fall cleanup and harvesting. Position would wrap up in November 14th.
