The majority of work requires the physical capability to contribute daily in a rigorous, fast paced agricultural setting, creating an incredibly rewarding yet demanding work environment and life experience.

A positive attitude, commitment to teamwork and attention to detail is critical. Preference will be given to candidates who can commit to the full growing season. Please consider this commitment before applying.

Crew members are responsible for all daily farm operations. Field work includes:

Weekly Schedule Details

Daily Start: In April our workday begins at 8:00 am, but by May our start time is 6:00 am.

Breaks: We have a 15-minute break mid-morning and take a one-hour unpaid lunch around noon.

Daily End: We're usually finished by 4:30pm with the exception of the weekdays we're at the evening farm stand or CSA distribution. In the peak of the season Friday harvests run long and we may not finish up until 5:00 pm.

We work as a group. Each day begins with a morning meeting outlining our work plan for the day, then animal chores. Between 3-3:30pm we finish up the day with watering the green houses, animal chores, cleaning the wash station and putting all equipment away.

Monday: Focus on flowers and field work. Harvest flowers for CSA. Seeding, transplanting, setting up irrigation, weeding, mechanical cultivating, bed and field prep. Cooler inventory.
Tuesday: Focus on harvest and packing. Harvest for CSA distribution, restaurant orders, and farm store. Boulder and Denver restaurant deliveries go out Tuesday afternoons.
Wednesday: Finish harvesting for CSA distribution. Cut flowers and make bouquets for farm stand/CSA. Farm Stand/CSA set-up and distribution. Field work.
Thursday: Cut flowers and make bouquets for weekend CSA and Farm Stand. Field work including weeding, seeding, transplanting, trellising. Cooler inventory.
Friday: Harvest for weekend CSA distribution, restaurants and Farm Store. Wash and pack all produce.
Saturday: CSA Distribution and Farm Stand set-up and sales. Animal chores. Greenhouse watering.

Preference given to applicants available to begin work in April and commit to staying through October. Can't commit to the whole season but still really interested? Apply and let us know your availability dates.

We will also be hiring for Farm Stand staff. Please let us know if you are interested.

Qualifications

We are looking for positive, reliable, responsible, and hardworking individuals who have a great sense of humor and are able to follow directions and communicate well with others. Attention to detail is critical and a passion for growing food essential. (If you are not a morning person, a farm job probably isn’t a good fit for you as we start each day early.)

You must also be a team player, open to learing new things, punctual, and be able to work in all weather conditions. Be prepared for rain, hail, snow, intense sun, wind, cold and heat each day in the field.

Previous farm or landscape experience preferred, and it is essential that candidates are committed to the farming lifestyle and all that it demands. Must be in good physical condition and able to lift 50 pounds (squash and potatoes are heavy!). A valid driver's license, clean driving record and reliable transportation to and from the farm are required. The farm is a non-smoking, drug free environment.
