FIELD CREW

- SEASONAL/PART-TIME POSITION -

 

Soleil’s Farm, a Certified Organic mixed vegetable market farm, is hiring for our Field Crew.


This is a part-time, seasonal position ideal for someone interesting in learning more about working on an organic farm, enjoys good physical work, loves working outdoors and being part of a kick-ass team!

 
We are a small team, and in order to ensure the farm runs smoothly this position requires a strong team commitment and a dedication to clear communication.  


The work will be demanding both physically and mentally, and thus we expect our team members to have an understanding of their personal limitations.

​

Most tasks require quality work done at a quick pace, often under pressure. Ideal team members have quick hands and a commitment to improving task efficiency. We often describe farming as endless problem solving - the ability to roll with rapidly shifting priorities, and a positive & collaborative attitude are essential qualities on our team.
