If you enjoy being outdoors, solving problems, learning new things, and seeing the results of your hard work, this could be a great opportunity for you.

• Assist with daily farm planning and task execution.

• Represent Living City Farms professionally in public settings.
• Work collaboratively with the broader Good Place Holdings team.

You don't need to know everything on day one. We're looking for someone who is willing to learn, grow, and contribute to the continued development of Living City Farms.

This is a hands-on, outdoor position. You'll spend much of your time working in the field and will experience varying temperatures and weather conditions.

You should be able to:

This is a full-time position with seasonal hours based on the needs of the farm.

March–November: Generally 40–50 hours per week, with paid overtime for hours worked over 40. Some weekends and farmers market days will be required.

December–February: Approximately 30 hours per week.

The schedule will fluctuate based on growing conditions, harvest needs, weather, and the intensity of the growing season.

If you're looking for a hands-on agricultural career where your work directly contributes to growing food, developing a sustainable farm, and strengthening the community, we'd love to hear from you.
