Farm Worker - Livestock And Equipment Team Member

We are a pasture based, regenerative agriculture farm in the suburbs of Philadelphia raising hay, grass fed beef, pastured pork, and pastured chicken on nearly 1,000 acres. We prioritize the humane handling and care of our animals, manage our pastures through intensive rotational grazing, and focus on producing the highest quality artisan products. We are not certified organic but follow organic principles and are a zero spray farm (no toxic chemicals here).

The ideal candidate would have some mechanical skills - the ability to perform repairs on farm equipment and buildings. The ideal candidate would also have the ability to fix fences, repair irrigation lines, and be committed to our methods of farming. Plant or soil health knowledge is a bonus. Much of what we do can be taught, but a passion for what we do will ensure long term success.
