WORK WITH US!
Honey Field Farm offers a supportive, fun, and stimulating work environment for anyone who loves to farm, garden, be outside, and work with their hands. We strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere for people to learn, solve problems, and work as a team to sustainably grow food and flowers for the community.
Farm owners Valerie and Eli learned from working on a dozen diverse farms across the country, and commit to practices that they found empowering and motivating, like:
-
Ensuring all team members feel confident and clear in training and instructions
-
Identifying employees’ special interests, skills, and opportunities to grow
-
Talking about the “why” behind farm practices to share ideas and connect with the bigger picture
-
Prioritizing team building to create a cohesive, fun, and supportive work environment
Each day starts with a quick team meeting and morning stretching to prepare for the day. Every shift includes a paid 15 minute coffee/tea break, and full shifts have a 30 minute lunch break. All employees get staff check-ins with managers throughout the season to give input, receive feedback, and talk about skills/experiences they want more of. We encourage anyone interested in farming, gardening, or local food to apply!
