Job opportunities
WE ARE CURRENTLY FULLY HIRED FOR THE 2024 FARM SEASON. However, please read below if you're interested in joining the crew the following year!
Previous farming experience isn't required, but former physical work experience is preferred. Here are some of the things we're looking for:
- A good work ethic
- The desire to do physical work outside
- An interest in providing healthy food to your local community
- The ability to work well as part of a team
- An interest in learning about sustainable farming
- Common sense and situational awareness
Working at Mud Creek Farm will be a great position for folks who think they might want to be a farmer. If you are new to the field, in one season you will gain experience in all the different aspects of a working farm, including seedling propagation, transplanting and field management, the growing requirements for a very wide variety of vegetables, harvesting, CSA distribution, etc.
I'm also interested in hiring one or two people with previous farming experience who would like to improve upon their skills, including but not limited to: crop planning and rotation, tractor and equipment proficiency, and crew management. I'm also open to incubating side projects for these folks, if there is something you would like to try out but don't have the infrastructure/time/funds to do on your own. Some examples from previous years are raising pigs, Thanksgiving turkeys, and broiler chickens.
If you're interested, please email your resume, a letter of interest, and 3 references to ruth@mudcreekfarm.com, and I will be in touch! Even if you're not sure what your schedule will be like in 2025, I like having some resumes on file :)
