About us: Front 9 Farm is an ecologically-minded vegetable farm which grows 80+ types of vegetables and fruits which are sold locally year-round. We grow a large variety of vegetables ranging from tomatoes and peppers, to lettuce and beets, which are sold through our farm subscription program and farmers' markets we attend.
Available positions: We’re looking for farm crew members who are available anywhere from 2-5 days per week, 3-5 hours per day, from January through December. Depending on the candidate, full-time (35 hr/week) positions are available during peak season, perfect for a high school or college student.
Job description: The work primarily consists of tray filling, seeding, transplanting, weeding, pruning or trellising crops, harvesting, and removing old crops. From March-May the majority of the work will be seeding, preparing garden beds for transplanting, and then transplanting. Harvesting, weeding, and packaging produce become major tasks from June through the end of summer. We're looking for crew members who work quickly and efficiently, and who can stay focused for several hours while performing repetitive tasks. No experience required.
Cleaning and straightening work is also included. Work is done in large chunks, so tasks such as transplanting, weeding, or harvesting are done for several hours at a time, so the work can become tedious. Tasks also include harvesting and bunching crops in the field including leafy greens (lettuce, kale, arugula), and root vegetables (beets, carrots, turnips). This position requires a lot of squatting and bending over, and quick hand movements. A lot of the work is done solo so the candidate must be able to keep focused and a quick pace of harvest. Work is done rain or shine, and sometimes through intense heat or cold. Listening to music and talking with other crew members is allowed, but it should not slow work down. When you are on the clock, you should be working.
Benefits of the job: Working outdoors in fresh air and sunshine, physical labor, low stress, as well as learning about horticulture, farming, operating a small business, and the 100+ agricultural crops we produce. Work is often done solo, and workers can listen to music/podcasts while working.
Compensation: $12/hr starting. After 10 days on the job we offer bonus pay based on speed of performance, such as rate of harvesting, weeding, bunching produce, etc. Our top performers earn up to $5/hr in bonus pay (on top of the base pay). Our average worker earns $1-2/hr in bonus pay.
Hours: very flexible, work can be done in 3-6 hr shifts between 9am-6pm Monday-Friday.
