OUR FARM CULTURE:
Like the fertility of the soil, our work culture acts as the dynamic organic matter for the growth and well-being of our entire community. Alongside a passion for our mission, attitudes that are respectful, inclusive and enthusiastic make all the difference, as we are a small, hard-working team of farmers who work closely together to solve problems and accomplish tasks. We seek diligent, trustworthy and reliable people who want to learn, grow and collaborate with us to bring fresh, local food to the Upper Valley.

All members of our tight-knit crew have their hands in the soil planting, hoeing, weeding, mulching, pruning, trellising, harvesting, washing and packing produce. Farming is a physically demanding job. The weather is unpredictable and the work is variable, which requires people with good mental and physical stamina. A person that excels in these roles is a team player, has a positive attitude and solid work ethic, is efficiency minded, and is physically fit.
