We unfortunately do not have housing available on the farm, though we can assist relocating crew members to find affordable housing in the area.

Farm / Market Crew- Positions filled for 2024

Join us in the field to plant, weed, harvest, wash and pack our certified organic produce.  Due to the nature of our  small and diversified vegetable farm in Terrebonne (25 miles north of Bend) we expect our crew to be proficient and efficient in many tasks.  We will provide training for all tasks, but there’s a lot to learn on a diversified farm so attention to detail and commitment to improving speed and quality of work are key.  We are primarily a market farm and our three full-time crew members generally alternate working either Wednesday or Saturday markets May-Oct.  We feel that crew participation in markets makes the work we do on farm more rewarding and meaningful, and also provides a nice work balance.  Crew members are expected to work well with others as well, as well as individually. 

Primary Tasks:

• Harvest- During the main part of our season, the majority of our time is taken up by harvesting, washing and packing produce. We generally harvest most of the morning, come into the barn to wash and pack the produce, and then often go back out in the afternoon to get ‘fruits’ like tomatoes and peppers. We require our team to be efficient and focused especially during this time. We move quickly through many tasks, but there is also repetition.

• Farmer’s Market- this position will attend either Wednesday or Saturday market at least every other week.  Meeting at the Farm or at Markets is flexible, depending on where the employee lives. Will be responsible to help with setting up and breaking down the market booth, maintaining produce display, helping customers and keeping everything running smoothly regardless of conditions. Markets are a lot of fun, but are very busy at the beginning and weather can be hot, cold, wet, or windy—we sell produce through it all.

• Farm tasks: Cultivation (weeding), Transplanting, Pruning, Trellising, Crop Removal, and Crop Care are all tasks we do on a regular basis. 

• Leadership roles for various farm tasks will be discussed in the early season.   Promotions are available as a team member is able to take more responisibility and leadership.

Qualifications:

• Agricultural experience preferred but not required. Experience working manual labor and/or in the service industry is also great.  Farming is hard work and you must be prepared for that!

• Ability to lift 40-50 pounds and work bent over for extended periods of time, in any type of weather.

• Must be able to commit to the full season.

• Ability to work efficiently with teammates and also independently. Maintaining consistent pace is imperative in production work.

• Strong communication skills are necessary to keep our team on the same page.

• Excellent attention to detail and willingness to focus and learn. We will train you on all tasks but expect you meet quality and efficiency standards, as harvest lists for market days are long! 

• Positive attitude is key, because a negative one can bring the team down when things get hard, hot or cold.

• Proficient at quick mental math in order to tally customer’s orders without a cash register.
