PART-TIME FALL FARM FIELD CREW JOB AT LAND’S SAKE FARM IN WESTON, MASSACHUSETTS

For the 2018 fall season, Land’s Sake Farm in Weston, MA, is looking for two or three enthusiastic, dependable, hard-working, and dynamic folks to join our farm team as our Field Crew. This is a part-time position that will run from mid to late August through the end of October.

Land’s Sake is a nonprofit dedicated to building meaningful connections between people, the food they eat, and the land. Field Crew members will work closely with the farmers to operate a busy and complex community farm operation. We grow for a 300 member CSA program, farmstand, and a hunger relief contract with the town of Weston. We also occasionally work with volunteers and children in education programs. We strive to make Land’s Sake a welcoming, community-centered farm for all involved, including customers, shareholders, children, volunteers, and staff.

We’re looking for a couple of people primarily to help with our fall harvests and whatever else needs to get done on the farm in the fall. Tuesday and Thursday morning availability is a must, with afternoon and Wednesday, Friday or Saturday scheduling also possible.

Applicants should be enthusiastic about learning, communication, having fun and working hard. Field crew members are expected to work quickly while maintaining attention to detail. Working efficiently, independently and with a team, are equally important. Field crew can expect to work long hours in all weather conditions; a positive attitude and good sense of humor are essential to this position.

Compensation for the Farm Field Crew Job includes:

$12.50/hr, with paid lunch

Free produce from farm and discounts on farmstand goods

Paid sick time, in accordance with Massachusetts law.

Qualifications include a sincere interest in vegetable production, a valid driver’s license and clean driving record, reliable transportation, the ability to lift 50 lbs repeatedly, and the ability to work for long periods of time in all weather conditions. Previous farm experience is strongly preferred, but not required.

Positions open until filled.
