Assistant Field Manager On Vegetable Farm

Common Thread CSA is a 17-acre Vegetable Farm in Central New York that grows mixed vegetables using sustainable methods for on farm and delivered CSA, and some wholesale. We are a family farm with two farmer/owners with over 20 years of experience growing vegetables for CSA. We enjoy sharing what we know with– and learning from– our farm crew. We prioritize soil health, using a permanent raised bed tillage system and planting about half the farm to cover crops. We work to make our food accessible to all by running a sponsored share program and donating food to local soup kitchens and food pantries. We work to build a positive and safe workplace and welcome diversity of race, sex, sexual orientation, gender, age, family status and religion.

The Assistant Field Manager is involved in tillage, fertilization, cultivation, pest control, cover cropping, mowing and other tractor operations. They work closely with the farm and Field Manager to ensure that the beds are ready for planting, spent beds are turned over and cover cropped and assist with other tractor operations as needed. This is a full time position for 10 months (with part time work available in January and February) that is scheduled around the weather so flexibility is necessary.

We seek farm team members who have at least two seasons of prior experience on Vegetable Farm(s) similar to our scale, have good communication skills, enjoy working as part of a team, and are excited to help produce healthy veggies for local communities. All positions require flexibility in responding to the needs of the farm and all on farm management positions will provide crew leadership for other tasks as time allows.
