We are accepting applications for 2025

We have 2 positions open as of now for our vegetable production crew. We are a small team of 6 seasonal full timers (mid March-Nov 1) plus a few part timers to help with harvest days. We are a tight knit group! We do have some flexibility with our timelines so please reach out even if your availability looks different than what we’ve posted for.

We are always looking for folks who want to learn farming. We prefer folks who have some kind of farming experience but are certainly willing to hire someone without any, if they are a good fit with great references. This is a highly detailed, physical job. If you have interest in learning how to run a small successful no till market farm, this is a good place to start. We have been growing for 2 decades and have been running Small Axe Farm since 2009. Come learn with us! Job descriptions here: https://smallaxefarm.com/join-our-team/

It is that time of year when we feel like all we do is harvest, wash, pack and deliver! All the hard work of bed preparation, timed plantings & cultivating leads to a whole lot of harvesting…we have an amazing crew on hand this season which makes all the difference!

We are so excited to finally have the Real Organic Project logo on our label. We have been certified Real Organic for a few years now and we think it is so important that customers understand what it means. Why isn’t our Organic certification enough? Because the National Organic standards have changed. Big business took over the Organic industry and they have diluted what it means to be organic. Farmers can grow food hydroponically, where soil is not involved at all, creating tremendous downward pressure on prices and still be Organic Certified. Huge farms that drain aquifers, exploit workers and treat their animals poorly can label their products Organic. Real Organic means that we grow our produce in soil. This project is trying to bring back the original principles that organic was founded on. Growing in soil organically gives back in so many ways. We are fostering the soil to create healthy produce. This certification doesn’t just apply to veggie producers. It applied to everything with an organic label. Real Organic ensures that livestock is pastured, not confined in (CAFO’s) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. Find out more at www.realorganicproject.org and read your labels carefully at the grocery store.

We have a handful of Summer CSA shares left. The early bird special ends on March 15th. We deliver super fresh, organic produce every Tuesday afternoon from June to October for our CSA members…details on the website…

As we head into Winter we are busy, busy, busy! Late Fall is the only opportunity that we have to catch up on projects. The rest of the year we are planting, harvesting and delivering with little room for anything else! After a great season we are putting up some new high tunnels to expand our shoulder season production. Others Fall projects include general Fall clean up (putting away row cover, sand bags, tarps, etc), organizing the books, ordering seed for next season…yes, this early!…and prepping for next season. It’s also time for REST! Woohoo! We will fill our downtime with lots of back country and xc skiing, tons of wild skating if the ice is good, lots of cooking and baking, family time, knitting, carving and reading!

We are hiring for August-October! Full time preferred but Part time is an option. Experience preferred…see job description under Join Our Team on the website…
