Astarte Farm in Hadley, MA, is hiring a full-time (40 hrs/week) crew member for the 2025 growing season, March 31st - October 31st. The right applicant will start Monday, March 31st and work Monday through Friday, 40 hours a week. Scheduled hours are 7am-3:45pm and change to 6:30am-3:15pm in summer, weather- and workflow-depending.

Come join the team on our beautiful 3.5-acre, certified organic, no-till/no-spray farm. Crew members will be involved in all aspects of veggie production here at Astarte, including but not limited to, transplanting, weeding, trellising, pest control, harvesting, and no-till bed management. While this is not an apprenticeship there is a lot of learning that happens on a daily basis and we are very open to sharing our experience and knowledge of growing vegetables using no-till practices. The ideal candidate is able to learn many tasks quickly and precisely, is naturally energized by the prospect of working outside in a small group, has stamina for long days of physical work, and has a great sense of humor and fun. Most importantly, we are looking for candidates that seek out physical activity in their daily lives and who are self-motivated by the mission of our farm. Applicants must be able to lift 50 lbs repeatedly and be content to work outside in all types of weather. 

 

Desired Experience: This is an entry level crew position but we do value work experience with a physical and teamwork aspect like farming, restaurant work, etc. 

 

Compensation: $18 with an annual professional development stipend (farm gear, workshops, books, etc.) and access to veggies, fruits, flowers and herbs. 

 

To Apply: Email ellen@astartefarm.com with a resume, a brief statement about yourself and your interest in working at Astarte Farm, and a minimum of two references.
