Farm
Hands
Join the Duurzame Growers team as a Farm Hand this season! While we love a seasoned pro, farming experience isn't a must—so if you've only grown a few houseplants, you might still fit right in! Your days will be a delightful mix of harvesting, washing, and packing our delicious produce for our CSA program and for farmers markets, plus getting your hands dirty with bed preparation, transplanting, and everyone's favorite weeding!
On our small and diverse farm, no two days are the same, but we promise there’s a good rhythm to each week (and some great tunes if you’re lucky). We run on a qick pace, so a good attitude is essential. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and enjoy some laughter while working hard, we’d love to have you on board!
Desired Skills & Qualifications:
- Farming experience is not mandatory but is certainly an advantage. Any background in areas such as landscaping or the restaurant industry is also appreciated.
- Excellent teamwork and communication are essential. With various tasks on our farm, staying connected is crucial. Openness to constructive feedback is a must.
- Attention to detail, thoroughness, and a focus on both quality and efficiency.
- A strong work ethic and self-motivation.
- Cleanliness and organization are important.
- A passion for plants, soil, and quality food. Caring for the living things we cultivate (and consume) is vital for the farm's success. Embracing community means respecting each individual on the farm team, plus the family that lives on the land, and patrons that support our farm.
- Must be able to do heavy lifting up to 50 lbs.
- Means of transportation to and from the farm. We are located in a rural setting, so bus routes do not stop out here.
- Also we are a smoke, vape, and scent-free environment. We are looking for someone who respects these standards
