Company description

Little Big Farm is an organically-grown 3 acre market farm on 25 beautiful acres in Olympia, Washington.

We grow and direct market a diverse array of fresh mixed vegetables and specialize in our much-loved salad mix, bunched greens, fresh roots, and greenhouse crops. We offer this bounty through Farmers Markets in Seattle and Olympia, as well as at the Olympia Food Co-op, local restaurants, and Community Supported Agriculture.

The littleness of Little Big is held close to us. By farming on such a small-scale, and utilizing appropriate-scale tools and techniques, our farm is able to produce exceptionally high yields and profitability per acre with an accountability that ensures quality.

Job description

We are looking to add one 4-day a week person, or two 2-day a week people to our Field Crew! The position starts as soon as possible! The farm is bursting at the seams.

This Field Crew position will entail all aspects of small scale vegetable farming with a heavy emphasis on harvest. We would like you to start as soon as possible, and need a commitment to the end of September. This is a summer job.

Applicants should desire to work on a small-scale, high production vegetable farm. You must be in good physical and mental condition, with the ability to regularly lift 50+ pounds and work consecutive 8+ hour days on your feet, using your body. Sometimes this means working in the rain and wind, other times it means hot, dry, and sunny — you will work in it all. Ideal candidates are passionate about food, vegetables, being outside, working hard. You must be able to work efficiently alone and in a team as your days will almost always encompass both types of work. Repetitive tasks cannot drive you crazy. We live for the hustle and take pride in the skill and craftsmanship needed to do the job well. To do well on our farm, you must work quickly and efficiently, be detail oriented, communicate thoughtfully and take pride in the farm’s success. You will need to be able to listen, follow directions, and learn. We want our employees to see the beauty and importance of our work and to find the humor in the hard parts. Farming is not easy, but it is overwhelmingly beautiful and relentlessly gratifying.
