WORK AT MOONSCAPE FARM

Do you like being outdoors (in all weather), getting lots of exercise, and building community resilience? Do you love vegetables?  If so, we would love to meet you!

We use low-till organic agricultural methods.  This means managing weeds and pests by hand and lots of emphasis on compost, mulch, and soil health.  You will be participating in harvests, weeding, and helping with a variety of other farm tasks.

You do not need prior experience in gardening, just motivation and a passion for agriculture. Moonscape Farm is a small nonprofit farm focused on community food sovereignty. We have a crop field, a 40 plot community garden, a financially-accessible farm stand and a small CSA. We work closely with Edible Brattleboro and the Multicultural Community Center to support our refugee neighbors.

Work is part time (up to 29 hours per week), Tuesday-Friday, with somewhat flexible hours. We pay $15-18/hr depending on experience.
