Internship Details:

We are currently hiring for two crew member positions to join our returning staff.

Crew members can expect to be involved in all aspects of production and marketing and will gain an in-depth perspective on small-scale sustainable agriculture. Day to day tasks will shift over the course of the season: you’ll be involved in greenhouse operations, planting and weeding, harvesting, post-harvest handling, deliveries, and more.  You can expect to have a broad experience while also delving deeply into specific projects. Everyone (who wants it) will be trained on the tractors and have time to build tractor operating experience. We start each morning with a meeting to discuss plans for the day and go over new elements.  Work will vary – mostly we work together as a whole team, but there are also solo and small-group tasks. We are happy to develop work that addresses specific areas of interest.

These positions are an hourly position at a rate of $20-21/hour, and returning employees will receive an annual raise. All full-time full-season crew members receive five paid days off per season (and are welcome to take additional days off, as needed). All employees receive a fruit CSA share from our fruit farm partner, have access to plenty of leftover produce and are welcome to harvest veggies for personal use from the farm

Educational Opportunities: While we don't list this position solely as an educational apprenticeship, all crew members will receive in-depth training on all aspects of farm operations, and there is plenty of space made for training and questions. Additionally, many crew members participate in the CRAFT events and other trainings that run during the season. We also participate in a multi-farm training program that has bi-weekly paid trainings on a variety of farm subjects.

Skills Desired: We are ideally looking for someone with at least a season of farm experience, or at last outdoor/manual labor work history. But for the right person, this is not a dealbreaker.

Meals: We eat bring-your-own lunch together every day.

Stipend: We, we offer an hourly wage of $20/hour, and have paid days off.

Housing: No, we are not able to offer on-farm housing
