Internship Details:

We are hiring crew members for the 2024 season and beyond. Being on the Flocktown Crew is incredibly rewarding. Farming is a profession that cuts through all aspects of life; incorporating good food, community, fun, and lots of sun. We love farming and work hard to cultivate a meaningful workplace. The farm crew is involved in all aspects of the Farm’s day-to-day operation. Regular tasks that the crew performs include planting, weeding, harvesting, washing and packing produce
Some farming experience is preferred but not required. While we often work together, all applicants must have the ability to work and think independently, and possess good problem solving skills. Farm work is inherently variable and multifaceted, requiring that farmers be flexible, creative, motivated about the task at hand, and positive in the face of changing conditions. All applicants must possess good communication skills, ability to follow direction, attention to detail, and a good work ethic. Farm work is physically demanding and dirty, requiring the ability to lift 40lbs and work quickly and efficiently in conditions that are often muddy, dusty, wet, hot, cold, sunny, and windy

Work week is Monday-Friday, approximately 45 hours. Free produce, bread, and eggs + grocery discount on other items. Crew season runs from the beginning of May through the end of November.

All qualified candidates will be asked to participate in a “trial day.” During the trial day, applicants will work alongside the farm crew and have an interview with the Harvest Manager. Trial day participants should come prepared to get dirty and expect to work up to 8 hours.
