General Farm Description: West County Community Farm is a diversified farm just minutes from downtown Sebastopol, CA. We use regenerative practices to grow 8 acres of vegetables, flowers, culinary herbs, and strawberries primarily for our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. All CSA members pick up their produce onsite weekly and enjoy u-pick crops including a strawberry patch and an extensive culinary herb and cut flower garden. We work to foster a positive, professional, and supportive work environment. We hire team-oriented people with a strong work ethic and positive attitude who are passionate about this work. Camaraderie and the diversity of tasks on our farm make the work interesting.
