What are the responsibilities and job description for the Farm Worker position at 9 Bean Rows?
Farmhands are our farm’s technicians, diligently tending the fields and executing tasks with precision and care. A small team of Farmhands are guided by the Field Manager to execute daily tasks and achieve weekly goals related to vegetable production. Farmhands assist in preparing seedbeds, planting and seeding, managing weeds, making minor irrigation repairs, harvesting and washpack. Work may at times be physically strenuous and/or performed in undesirable weather; a worker with good physical health and a steady, positive attitude will perform well in this work environment.
This position is appropriate for individuals interested in food production, regular exercise in the outdoors and the aesthetic of clean fields and beautiful produce. While we will work with farmhands to achieve personal learning goals related to sustainable farming and provide a positive work environment, we must stress that this is foremost a job, that farming is production work, and that the farm earns money only by what is actually produced and sold.
