2026 ASSISTANT GROWER

Land’s Sake Farm in Weston, MA is hiring an Assistant Grower to join our farm and forestry team for the 2026 season.  Assistant Growers can expect to be involved in all aspects of sustainable vegetable production. This position runs year-round and is full-time from the beginning of April to the end of November.  Winter hours are reduced.

Land’s Sake is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building meaningful connections between people, the food they eat, and the land. We run a ~20 acre diversified vegetable operation, 300 member CSA, market stand, and robust food donation program. We also host an array of educational programs and have a long-standing forestry management operation. Assistant growers will work closely with the LS team to run a complex community farm operation. Growers also work with volunteers, workshares, and children in education programs. We strive to make Land’s Sake a welcoming, community-centered farm for all involved, including customers, shareholders, children, volunteers, and staff.

This position operates on a Monday-Friday schedule and starts in late April (exact date is negotiable).  During the summer, Assistant Growers can expect to work 50 hours/week. Spring and fall hours typically run 40-45 hours/week. Winter hours are typically 25-30 hours/week. 

Responsibilities:

Main Season

• Field work (harvesting, planting, and weeding) 
• Miscellaneous tasks (tomato trellising, fencing setup, and irrigation)
• Greenhouse tasks (seeding, watering, and potting up)
• Basic landscape maintenance on the farm (mowing, weed whacking, etc.)
• Some farm equipment usage

Winter

• Participate in forestry work and firewood production (chainsaw work, splitting, stacking)
• Participate in maple syrup production (tapping, collecting, bottling, etc.)
• General farm maintenance and upkeep

Applicants should have a genuine interest in learning about sustainable agriculture. Assistant Growers are expected to work quickly and efficiently while maintaining attention to detail. The ability to alternate between individual and crew work is vital. Assistant Growers can expect to work long hours in all weather conditions.  Many of the tasks we carry out on a regular basis are repetitive and physically demanding.  Applicants with a strong work ethic and positive attitude will succeed in this role. 

The work day starts at 7 am sharp, and goes through about 5 pm with an hour break for lunch. Winter hours typically run from 7 am to 4 pm.  There may be occasional exceptions to end times when we need to complete work before a weather event (optional), and there may be times when we cancel work due to hazardous weather. 

Compensation:

• Starting at $18/hour
• Free produce from farm and discounts on farmstand goods
• Two weeks paid vacation, paid holidays
• Sick time
• Health care benefits with 75% employer contribution at the individual tier
• $300/year gear stipend for workwear and outdoor gear

Qualifications:

A sincere interest in sustainable vegetable production and a positive attitude are a must.  Being flexible, open-minded, and engaged are equally as important.  We aim to create a welcoming work environment where asking questions is encouraged.  The physical nature of our work necessitates that all employees are able to lift 50lbs repeatedly and work for long periods of time doing repetitive tasks.  Applicants should have a reliable form of transportation and ability to arrive at work on time. Applicants must have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.  Previous farm experience is strongly preferred. Preference will be given to applicants who can work the full term of the position.
