Sun Grounded – Farm / Market Crew- 2 positions available for 2026

Join us in the field to plant, weed, harvest, wash and pack our certified organic produce.  Due to the nature of our  small and diversified vegetable farm in Terrebonne (25 miles north of Bend) we expect our crew to be proficient and efficient in many tasks.  We will provide training for all tasks, but there’s a lot to learn on a diversified farm so attention to detail and commitment to improving speed and quality of work are key.  We are primarily a market farm and our three full-time crew members generally alternate working either Wednesday or Saturday markets May-Oct.  We feel that crew participation in markets makes the work we do on farm more rewarding and meaningful, and also provides a nice work balance.  Crew members are expected to work well with others as well, as well as individually.

Farm work isn’t for everyone, but we find it very grounding and rewarding. If you want a job that is physically and mentally challenging, please fill out this application AND send a resume (including past employment) to Ashley at sungrounded@gmail.com.  Incomplete applications will not be considered. Please make sure you’ve read through the job description and qualifications carefully.
