2020 Positions
Farm Crew
Part to Full time (20-40 hrs)
May-October
This position will likely start out at part-time but may increase to full time in the harvest season
Pay
Pay is commensurate to experience, starting at $11/hr. Rate is re-evaluated after a training period.
Duties
Farm Crew members participate in all aspects of on-site farm activities. This includes all seeding, planting, cultivating, harvesting, washing and packing of vegetables, and may include caring for chickens and washing and packing eggs. Specific tasks vary with the season and will be more geared towards seeding and planting in the spring and early summer, then transitioning to primarily harvesting, washing and packing in the late summer and fall.
Skills Required
Farm Crew members should have some experience and/or familiarity with farm work, be able to lift 50 lbs, and be able to work on their feet for 8+ hours. Because all farms are different, no previous specific skills are necessary as we will instruct all Farm Crew members on seeding/planting/harvesting specific to our operation.
Benefits
All farm employees have access to seasonally available produce and eggs, a weekly all-crew lunch provided by the farm, an education/gear stipend, and a work environment that encourages learning and creativity.
How to Apply
Please send a cover letter, resume and references to taylor@footprintfarmvt.com. We are scheduling interviews starting in late January.
