Work EnvironmentHospitality setting with guest interactions, outdoor activities, accommodationsFarm or ranch setting focused on animal care and maintenance
Employer & Industry UsageTourism, hospitality, outdoor recreationAgriculture, livestock, ranching operations

A Ranch Hand primarily handles livestock and farm chores, with less emphasis on guest interaction. Understanding these differences helps job seekers find roles aligned with their skills and career goals.

Job description

Organic Farmer / GardenerCome Get Your Hands Dirty at Sorrel

Sorrel River Ranch is a Four-Diamond luxury guest ranch tucked along the Colorado River, surrounded by towering red-rock cliffs, wide-open skies, and 240 acres of incredible Southern Utah landscape.

And yes—we have a garden. A big one.

Our organic farm and garden help supply fresh, seasonal produce to the restaurant and mercantile while giving our guests a chance to experience a little hands-on ranch life. We believe good food starts with healthy soil, happy plants, and people who genuinely care about what they’re growing.

If you’d rather spend your day outside than behind a desk, enjoy getting your hands dirty, and want to learn more about organic farming and permaculture, we’d love to have you join the team.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, and caring for our crops.
  • Helping care for our orchard, greenhouse, and growing spaces.
  • Installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting irrigation.
  • Building compost and helping improve soil health.
  • Learning and practicing permaculture and organic growing techniques.
  • Keeping our garden productive, healthy, and beautiful.
  • Helping create fun farm and garden experiences for our guests.
  • Pitching in with the team when something needs to get done.
What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Curious and eager to learn.
  • Hardworking and not afraid to get a little dirty.
  • Passionate about plants, food, farming, or the environment.
  • Positive, dependable, and good at solving problems.
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a team.
  • Friendly and comfortable interacting with guests.
  • Able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs.
  • Ready to work outdoors and enjoy the Moab sunshine, seasons, and everything that comes with them.

Organic farming or gardening experience is a plus. A Bachelor’s degree is preferred, but we care just as much about your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

Why Sorrel?

Because your office might be a field.

Your lunch might come from something you just harvested.

Your coworkers might be chefs, guides, ranchers, gardeners, and adventurers.

And when you need a break, there’s a river and some pretty spectacular red rocks waiting for you.

$15/hour
Shared housing available at minimal cost
Benefits eligible after 6 months
Farm-fresh produce

If you’re ready to trade the cubicle for the garden and want to be part of something a little different, come grow with us. 

Limited rental housing may be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Only applicants selected for interviews will be contacted. Applicants must already have legal authorization to work in the United States.

Sorrel River Ranch Resort & Spa is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
