Job Description We are seeking three full-time crew members for our vegetable farm from April through November 2015.   One season's experience on a vegetable farm is preferred but not required. Established in 2009, Bending Bridge Farm produces certified organic vegetables on 10 acres. We distribute our produce year-round through a 100 member "market style" CSA, three DC-area farmers markets, and a local farmers' cooperative.

Crew members work 4-5 days per week in beautiful rural central PA and spend one day each week in the city managing one of our DC-area farmstands.  Employees are an integral part of our small farm operation and participate in the complete process of vegetable production from starting seeds to making sales.  Crew members work directly with the farm managers on a day to day basis and will have the opportunity to see and ask questions about every facet of our operation. 

Members of the Bending Bridge Farm crew are reliable,  self-motivated, and organized. Applicants should possess a strong work-ethic, an attention to detail, and good listening skills. Applicants should have a flexible, positive attitude,  a willingness to work in all weather conditions (heat, rain, cold), and a willingness to work more than 40 hours per week when necessary.  The work is physically demanding so good physical fitness and the ability to lift 50 lbs repeatedly is a must.  If you share our love of fresh vegetables, long hours outdoors, and cheesy jokes, you will thrive as a member of our team!

We pay an hourly wage of $8 per hour.  Housing is provided in a comfortable 3-bedroom house less than a mile from the farm (utilities and food from the farm also included). Compensation this position is How to apply DeadlineJanuary 31, 2015
