Our  program offers a paid, educational opportunity for candidates looking to immerse themselves in learning about sustainable agriculture. This training is a big part of how we fulfill our vision of "building a just and equitable food system." 

 

During the course of the season, fellows are given the information and time to learn the essential skills needed to manage a mixed organic/biodynamic farm on their own. In return, fellows are expected to give their labor for the daily working of the farm.

​

OK, here's our description of the ideal Farm Fellow:

• are honest, responsible, respectful, reliable, and self-motivated;

• take pride in doing high-quality work;

• work well with others and individually;

• are excited about working in community with others.

 

If you:

• are ready to learn,

• can take and give direction,

• are excited about working intensely with all types of people,

• are open to receiving constructive feedback

​

Then you should apply, but also...

People skills are important. You should:

• display a friendly, energetic, and engaged demeanor when interacting with CSA members and customers at our farm stands

• be comfortable interacting with and leading volunteers, student work groups, and corporate work groups.

 

You should also know that this is physically hard work and can be demanding: 

You should:

• be able to lift at least 55 pounds,

• be comfortable bending, squatting, kneeling, and lifting for extended periods,

• expect to get dirty on a regular basis,

• be prepared to work in all weather conditions (wind, rain, heat, cold),

• find enjoyment in doing manual labor.

 

A few other requirements...

• a valid drivers license and clean driving record,

• your own transportation

 

We're looking for a Fellow who wants to make a difference in the food system.
