Gathering Together Farm in Philomath, Oregon is seeking a full time farmer to join our production team, and drive with our farmers market team.
We would be excited to find people who are passionate and knowledgeable about good food and organic agriculture - although driving and equipment operation competency is a priority of the position. Candidates should reside in the greater Philomath / Corvallis area. We are ideally seeking experienced tractor operators, but for the right candidate, we would also consider one position in more of a professional farmer trainee and development role.
Gathering Together Farm sells high quality organic produce through direct retail to our customers, at 6 weekly farmers markets, a CSA program , and through wholesale channels to restaurants and specialty grocery stores in Eugene, Newport, Corvallis and Portland.
This position will have three primary focuses for their role -
Mechanical cultivation, utilizing tractors;
Utilizing spray and fertigation equipment for our plant health and nutrition program;
Delivery truck logistics.
This position will begin as a Full-Time Seasonal role - Mid March to Thanksgiving, but for the right candidates we would absolutely build this into a year-round role. Experience with organic produce and row-crop production is desired, but with some relevant transferable skills we could train a less experienced candidate into the role.
