Four Root Farm, a small-scale Certified Organic vegetable and cut flower farm, is hiring full-time crew members for the 2023 growing season. Some fall and early winter hours may be available immediately as well.

Job Description:

Farm Staff will assist with all aspects of vegetable and flower production throughout the growing season. In the early season, focus will be on starting seeds in the greenhouse and field preparation. As summer arrives, we shift to planting, followed by crop maintenance tasks such as weeding, trellising, and pruning. Late summer is consumed with harvest, and the season concludes with clean up and preparing the farm to rest through the winter months.

Attention to detail is the most important qualification for this position. An interest in learning the many varied tasks that go into vegetable and flower production and a drive to work hard are crucial. Experience working on other vegetable or flower farms is a plus, but not required. Our schedule is often subject to weather conditions, so a willingness to be flexible and to work outdoors under varied conditions is expected. Early morning and/or evening availability is a plus.

Our regular work week is Tuesday – Saturday, 8am – 4pm

Pay starts at $15 per hour, plus lots of cut flowers and fresh produce to take home.

We can have some flexibility around a preference for a Monday-Friday schedule.

Ideal candidates have:
Positive attitude, great listening skills, excellent attention to detail
Experience working on farms or with landscaping or gardening
Tolerance for physically demanding work
Tolerance for working in less than ideal conditions including rain and hot weather

Please email us with a copy of your resume and a cover letter, or description of your work history and why you are interested in the position.
