Find A Job On An Organic Farm

Have you ever had a desire to learn organic farming methods? One of the best ways is by going to work at an organic farm. This article tells how you can find an organic farm job.


Instructions


1. The internet should be your first resource when looking for a job on an organic farm. Below this article in the resources list you'll find links to hundreds of places and farms that hire workers for their organic farms, You could be one of them.


2. I found a part-time job on an organic farm through craigslist by stating my desire for organic farm work and posting it under resumes. I got a response to my resume within one day, met the organic farm owner that week, and went to work for him the next day.


The work is hard, dirty, and not glamorous at all for the most part, but there is a lot of satisfaction in helping to provide beautiful organic vegetables or other crops to grocery stores and local restaurants through your work.


You can also check the listings under jobs in craigslist. I've seen organic farm jobs listed under general labor and even under food jobs so do some checking.


3. More ideas for finding an organic farm job include researching in your local phone book under "organic farms' and then calling the farms listed there to see if they are hiring. You'd be surprised how many are and will ask you to come out for an interview as soon as possible.


The reason; farm work is hard work and not everyone enjoys it or is suited for it so if you are a hard worker you can be assured someone will want to hire you, sooner rather than later.


Also crops must be gathered, cleaned, packed, and shipped when they are ripe so during those times farms need help. Know when crops ripen in your area and call right around that time for the best chance of getting immediate work.
