We're now hiring for 2022! Open positions are listed below.

Honey Field Farm offers a supportive, fun, and stimulating work environment for someone 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

• Treating everyone with respect, trusting them with responsibility, and giving opportunities to collaborate and provide input on the farm

​

Each day starts with a quick team meeting to prepare for the day. Typical work days are 8am - 4pm though some shifts vary. Every shift includes a paid 15 minute coffee/tea break, and full shifts have a paid 30 minute lunch break. We strive to give ample opportunity for team members to give input on our systems, receive feedback on their work, and talk about skills/experiences they want more of. Twice a month we hold an hour-long team meeting to check in, brainstorm ideas, provide training and feedback, and plan upcoming projects, though we encourage employees to check in with us individually whenever needed. 

Honey Field Farm is an equal opportunity employer and values diverse representation in Vermont's farm community. We encourage BIPOC, women-identified, queer and trans folx to apply.
