Farmer

We are a small, family farm looking to add a very important team member. This person will fully integrate with us to run all aspects of our vegetable farm. In this roll you will always be busy. The seasons dictate the scope of your daily work, but generally these tasks involve being in and out of shelter, growing vegetables and flowers, caring for the land, planting starts and/or seeds, mowing & weeding, prepping vegetable beds, installing irrigation, managing watering systems, installing various infrastructure components like fencing, high tunnels, heaters, cleaning vegetable and facilities/vehicles, harvesting vegetables, washing/packing vegetables, operating a tractor, preparing delivery orders, carrying items weighing as much as 50 lbs, driving a box truck to markets and deliveries, setting up for & overseeing retail sales in person, at local weekly markets, delivering vegetables direct to our customers and way too much more to list.

Experience or no experience, doesn't matter to us. However, you must possess a valid Class D Drivers License, be able to pass a background check and be willing/able to spend full days driving through Norfolk County & Boston making deliveries 2 to 3 days per week.

1. Honest

2. Responsible

3. Accountable

4. Reliable

5. Intelligent

6. Respectful

7. Driven

If you possess these seven (7) attributes, you may be the person we are trying to find.
