About the positions:
We are hiring 2 full-time positions (35-40 hours/week), 1 part time position (8-20 hours/week). Volunteers welcome throughout the season.
For the full time positions there are two work week schedules available: Monday-Friday, and Tuesday-Saturday. It is possible to split a full-time position into a couple of part-time positions if desired.
For the part-time position you must be available on Thursday and/or Friday since those are our big harvest days.
If you are interested in volunteering, please scroll to the bottom of the page.
In the spring our work is focused on seeding in the field and greenhouse, bed prep, transplanting, weed control and groundskeeping.
As we move into summer we continue to seed, transplant, and groundskeep, but the focus shifts more to harvesting, washing, and packing, along with continued emphasis on weed control.
Fall is harvest time, clean up time, and time to do our final plantings for overwintering.
We will be a 1-4 person team, depending on the day. There will be times you will work in a team and times you will be working alone. It is an asset to be able to enjoy both types of situations.
To do this work it’s helpful to:
Be punctual and reliable
Be hard working
Have strong observational skills
Have quick hands
Be able to work both independently and as part of a team
Communicate well
Remain positive and focused in the face of monotony or bad weather
Be curious
Have a valid first-aid certificate
Must-haves:
Must be able to speak, read and write in English
Must have own transportation to the farm. No public transit is available. No on-site housing available
Must be legally able to work in Canada
Start Date: Mid April 2026. Start date is dependent on the weather. A warm, dry spring means we get started earlier than a snowy, cold, wet spring. Start date can be flexible if you need to finish college or university studies for the year.
End Date: Mid-End of October 2026
Compensation: $19.50/hr, access to farm produce, access to our farm library
Hours: Let me know what works for you, the start and end times can be flexible. Ideally you start sometime between 7-10am and finish between 3-5pm. Start times on the earlier side of the 7-10am window are preferred during the summer so we can get more of our work done in the cooler part of the day. 7am start time is preferred on Fridays during the late spring and summer to ensure as much produce as possible is harvested before the heat of the day.
To apply: Everyone is welcome to apply. Reach out to Amanda with your resume and cover letter at amanda@vegheadfarm.ca and let us know why you’d be a good fit.
We'd love to have your help and there are always times when we can use an extra hand on the farm. Connect with nature, your farm and your food. If you're interested in coming out occasionally or on a regular basis, contact Amanda at vegheadfarm@hotmail.com
