Job opportunities
WE ARE CURRENTLY HIRING FOR THE 2022 FARM 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 about sustainable farming
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.
I'm also interested in hiring one or two people with previous farming experience who would like to improve upon their skills. 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!
