Internship information

General Farm Description: We have created a profitable vegetable business in our first eight years in a very rural area, while maintaining low work hours and a high quality of life. Come let us teach you what we do! We'd love for you to be part of our successful team. Moose Meadow Farm is a small year-round family farm owned by Katherine and Spencer Nietmann. No livestock but we will bring on laying hens in 2025. Together with our crew we grow certified organic and Real Organic Project certified vegetables for local wholesale and retail markets. We specialize in year-round salad greens and microgreens production, using open field space, unheated high tunnels and heated greenhouse. We also grow mixed vegetables and storage crops. Our sales are split between regional grocery stores and restaurants, and retail sales through a 100 family CSA program and a winter online marketplace. We harvest and sell fresh produce 52 weeks per year. The farm is 1 acre and is worked using hand tools and very little mechanization. Housing is available to rent in a quaint cabin on site. Although North Idaho is known as a fairly conservative region, we are a young, progressive family thriving here and we'd love to show you what we do!

Responsibilities

Farming is a job that requires myriad skills and tasks. Some or all of the following will be required in this position, but the vast majority of the position will be spent in vegetable production, washing and packing:

• Transplanting
• Bed preparation/turnover

Requisitos

This is a physical, outdoor job that requires one to be moving, standing, bending, kneeling, and lifting continuously throughout the day. Good physical condition is therefore mandatory. We are hiring for a labor job on a production farm. There is plenty of room for fun and learning, but many of the tasks are repetitive and are carried out in all weather conditions.

• Understanding that this is a family farm and the lines between the owners’ personal and professional lives may be blurry at times.
• Timeliness.
• Flexibility, as conditions and priorities change quickly.
• Positive attitude in all working conditions: hot, cold, rainy, smoky, snowy, etc. and the ability to roll with the punches and remain upbeat.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds comfortably and safely.
• Reliable transportation to the farm in Clark Fork.
• Willingness to take direction and to learn, as well as to lead, take initiative, and innovate.
• No smoking/drugs of any type on the property.
• Adherence to food safety plan.
• Legal ability to work in the US.

Stipend: Yes - $18/hour plus an end-of-season bonus of $1 per every hour worked if a few conditions are met.
