A few disclaimers and explanations –

  • All wages listed above start at $8 per hour.  While the farm certainly isn’t rolling in the dough, we believe strongly that we must pay a living wage to the folks who have made organic farm work a career choice.
  • All positions are seasonal, from as few as three months up to eight months.  Our plans are to grow the farm so that we can offer year –round employment, but we’re not there yet.
  • Really eating well is part of what an organic farm should be all about.  We provide three meals per week to our staff, prepared by some pretty amazing farm chefs.  We also make sure that everyone working with us has plenty to eat at home, with ample allowance for produce and chickens to meet your home eating needs.
  • There is NO housing or health insurance offered with any of the positions offered at JenEhr Family Farm.  We understand this is a huge issue in both society and at our micro level.  But the economics of the farm simply make it impossible to offer any kind of health insurance benefits
  • To apply for any of the positions listed, please email or snail mail a copy of your resume.  Most positions are filled by March 1st, so please don’t delay.
