Job opportunities
Interested in farming? Consider a job with us at Mud Creek Farm. We regulary hire at least one new person each season. 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 how sustainable farming works
Working at Mud Creek Farm will be a great position for folks who think they might want to be a farmer. In one season you will gain experience in all the different aspects of a working farm, including crop planning, seedling propagation, transplanting and field management, different kinds of equipment, tractor work (if you are interested and prove your aptitude), harvesting, CSA distribution, etc.
Are you interested in trying out a small scale livestock project, like perhaps broiler chickens? We'd be happy to incubate your project! Mud Creek can provide space, electricity, water, and help marketing to our membership. If this is of interest, please get in touch and we can talk more about it!
We're currently hiring for 2020. We have 3 positions to fill, and are looking for at least one person with farming experience. If you're interested or have questions, please get in touch! Email a letter of interest, your resume, and 3 references (one must be a former employer) to Ruth Blackwell: ruth@mudcreekfarm.com
