The full-time main season position assists in a variety of tasks; proper harvest and washing of vegetables for our markets, learning transplanting and weed suppression techniques, IPM best practices and what the day-to-day life on the farm is like.

If you’re thinking of starting a farming business or just want to dive a little deeper into farm life, this could be the right fit for you!
