Looking for some help once a week on our small organic farm, Renegade Acres, in Howell, MI on Fridays. $10 an hour for at least 5 hours, up to 10 hours if you are able. We start at 9AM and work until 7PM currently, but sometimes need help even later into the evening.
Check out our websites, www.RenegadeAcres.com and www.GardenHoard.com as well as our Facebook and Instagram accounts for updates on what we’re up to on the farm. https://www.instagram.com/gardenhoard/
We grow over 200 types of tomatoes and over 100 types of peppers, along with eggplants, squash, kale, beans, potatoes, pumpkins, and so much more! The farm is 7 acres, currently with 3 acres in production.
Must be able to work quickly and precisely in the heat with attention to detail. There is a lot of bending over, moving and lifting. Must keep all varieties labeled for harvest for market and seed production. A few things we’d need help with:
Weeding
Trellising
Organic pest and fungicide control
Mowing aisles
Harvesting everything! Leafy greens, fruits, veggies, root crops, etc.
Harvesting seeds
Bunching and washing vegetables
Digging up potatoes when harvest time comes
Isolating blooms of plants for seed production
Stripping outer layers of garlic for market
Separating cloves and planting garlic in the fall
Farm cleanup in the fall
And so much more!
We are currently a husband and wife team. Katie works full time on the farm and Christian helps every night and on weekends.
It is quite a bit to tackle on our own, and really just looking to find some balance with some extra help. We currently have 3 others working with us.
Please send over resumes and relevant experience to our email through Craigslist. Thank you!
