Hiring Summer Farm Worker at Bluegrass Farm

Full Time, Paid Position (start and end dates flexible, but ideally from beginning of May through end August)

Jasper, ON (near Smiths Falls/Merrickville)

We are an organic mixed vegetable farm located in Jasper, Ontario (15 minutes from Merrickville or Smiths Falls; 75 min from downtown Ottawa). This is our fifth year in organic vegetable production, and our second year farming this property. When we moved here in 2014, we built an innovative system of 4 heated greenhouses that use radiant floor heating to grow salad greens through the winter. We also built a large cold storage unit for long-term storage of field crops. The greenhouses combined with the cold storage allow us to offer a unique Winter Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) program. We recently completed our first season of winter CSA delivery to 75 customers, who received biweekly baskets of produce from November through March. Our farm’s innovation and leadership has been recognized through grants from the Ontario Local Food Fund and the Eastern Ontario Development Program.

Our approach to farming is informed by our backgrounds in environmental science and sustainability education. In addition to starting three small organic vegetable farms on different parcels of land, we helped create and manage the Just Food Start-Up Farm Program in Ottawa for 2 years. As the program managers, we established Ottawa’s first incubator farm, supporting and mentoring over a dozen new farmers in their transition to running their own commercial farm operations.
