Work with Us

Help people grow through meaningful work.

Farming with Friends occasionally hires farm hands, team leads, and program staff who believe in dignity, patience, real connection, and hands-on community work.

About the Work

It is also relational work: showing up with patience, clear communication, flexibility, and respect for people of all abilities.

Participant-centered guidance
Encouragement, patience, adapted support, and relationship-building.
