What are the responsibilities and job description for the Farm Staff position at Hartshorn’s Certified Organic Farm?
Now Hiring: 2 Full-Time Farm Crew Members for the 2025 Season Sunday Farm Stand Help
Mid-May through October | 5 days/week | 8am–4pm | $18/hour to start free produce
Looking for meaningful work this summer that gets your hands in the soil, your body moving, and your heart inspired?
Join our vibrant, well-established organic farm in the heart of Vermont—featured on HGTV and beloved by our local community. We grow a wide range of organic fruits and vegetables and welcome hundreds of visitors each season through our bustling farm stand and events.
We’re currently hiring two hardworking, physically fit individuals to join our farm crew from mid-May through October. You’ll work directly with Dave, our expert organic grower with over 34 years of experience, and gain hands-on skills in:
- Seed starting
- Transplanting
- Weeding
- Harvesting
- And more!
This isn’t just about fresh air and sunshine (though there’s plenty of that!)—it’s also real, physical work. Farming requires stamina, focus, and adaptability. If you're a quick learner who can work both independently and collaboratively—and are genuinely motivated to learn about organic growing—we’d love to hear from you!
- Previous farm or gardening experience (preferred, not required)
- Strong work ethic and physical fitness
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn
- Ability to work efficiently solo and as part of a small team
- Respectful, reliable, and self-motivated
- Full-time: 5 days/week, 8am–4pm
- Some flexibility (we’ve accommodated half-days in the past)
- $18/hour to start
- Paid 30-minute lunch break (if working 40 hours/week)
- Occasional free produce to take home
- Workers’ compensation coverage provided
📍 Local candidates preferred due to limited housing options. However, camping on the land, even in your own RV or van, is a possibility for those from farther away (BYO gear).
We’re looking for a friendly, dependable person to staff our farm stand on Sundays from 10am–4pm.
If this feels like your kind of summer—working with the land, learning from an experienced grower, and being part of a beautiful, welcoming farm—reach out to us ASAP!
Tell us a bit about yourself, your interest in the position, and your availability. We’re excited to connect!
