Position Overview:

Close to Home Organics is a family-owned and operated organic mixed-vegetable farm, located in Abbotsford. We farm at Glen Valley Organic Farm as shareholders of the Glen Valley Organic Farm Cooperative. In 2022, our sales will focus on a Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) program that we run in cooperation with Earth Apple Organic Farm. We are seeking two farm workers to work with us through the farming season. One of those farmers would start in February, the other closer to April (we can be flexible on start-time), and work with us through to the end of October. Both are full-time positions with a Monday-Friday work-week.

Our Field Workers are expected to work outside in all types of conditions. The work is physically demanding and is at times solo. Successful farm workers are self-motivated, aware of their body’s need for water and stretching, driven to get the work done efficiently, and communicate well with others. Preference will be given to applicants with previous farm experience and proven ability to work efficiently. The work is not glamorous, but the results are tangible…and delicious.
