Stonybrook Canyon Farm is a Certified Organic Farm in Castro Valley, Alameda County. We grow produce for a half dozen local and high-end restaurants, along with a Saturday morning farmstand in summer. We are now interviewing for our 2025 summer season.
Candidates should live locally and have work experience in agriculture. We are unlikely to take on someone who has no experience or interest in farming. We have sometimes found incredible employees who came to us with absolutely no experience, but that is rare. In general, we prefer to hire people who have some experience and interest with growing great food and know what it means to get their hands dirty.
We enjoy pleasant people who work well with others, are dependable, have a good work ethic, and a passion for growing the best produce. We don’t pay minimum wage to anyone. Our positions start at $20 an hour, up to $25, depending on skill and experience.
We are flexible in work schedules, and would consider candidates who are looking for part-time or full-time work. The ideal candidate can handle a multitude of tasks (some of which are simply defined as hard work) and is capable of prioritizing and working independently.
There is no internet/cell reception at our farm, so people who expect to be texting their friends every five minutes will find themselves very frustrated, as well as unappreciated. We are about 2 miles from Highway 580 and easily accessible by vehicle.

Thank you so much for your interest.
