Join our Farm Crew!
As a valued member of our farm crew, you will be actively involved in a wide range of responsibilities, from working at the wash station to tending the fields. This role is physically demanding and requires working outdoors in all weather conditions, often challenging both your body and mind. Expect to be engaged and moving throughout each day, as our intensive farming methods enable us to produce exceptionally high yields of vegetables per acre!
While our approach is more physically demanding than traditional farming styles, it offers plenty of opportunities for enjoyment, learning. We think you're going to be a radishing addition to the team!
This position has the potential for year-round employment, providing a unique opportunity for ongoing involvement and personal growth within our dynamic farm environment. As part of the Farm Crew, you’ll also have opportunities to explore specialized roles such as propagation manager, pack shed supervisor, irrigation specialist, and more.
