2022 Positions
All employees at Footprint Farm will receive training in all aspects of field operations including, but not limited to: seeding, transplanting, crop maintenance, harvest, washing, and packing of vegetables. Most employees fall into the “Farm Crew” category, with the exception of two managerial positions, CSA Manager and Field Manager. In addition to each job position's individual responsibilities, all employees are welcome to add “Lead Roles” to their job descriptions. These Lead Roles are for the year unless otherwise arranged, and allow employees to deepen responsibilities and experience in different aspects of the farm. Lead Roles will be assigned based on preference and seniority. See Lead Role descriptions.
While job descriptions divide responsibilities amongst the crew, all Footprint Farm employees are part of a team and take part in group responsibilities as such. Namely, each employee is expected to work 2 or more Saturday mornings per Summer. This is a 3-4 hour commitment, paid time and a half. Dates will be scheduled in a round robin at the start of the season, and crew members may trade days as needed. All employees are eligible for a gear stipend, SIMPLE IRA contributions, and may take home produce as needed/desired.
