Little Mountain Farm Passionate Farmer Job Vacancy in Canada


Position: Looking for a passionate farmer to join a small organic farm business
Organization: Little Mountain Farm http://www.littlemountainveggies.ca
Location: Saanich/Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia

I am looking for someone to come grow organic veggies with me!

The business is called Little Mountain Farm, and we grow food for our
community here in Saanich. We are

located on a beautiful 16 acres
backing onto Mt. Doug and have 1 acre deer fenced, with about half of
that currently cultivated. We are tucked back from the road in an open
clearing with forest on three sides, it feels like you are in the
country, but we are only 10 minutes to Victoria.

I started the farm last year with a friend who has decided to take a
break from farming — so I need someone to take her place and come work
alongside me!

We worked hard to build what we did over the last season, we have a
50′ greenhouse, beautiful drip tape irrigation system, wash station,
etc. We sell our produce at a market or two and also through a CSA box
program.

We also worked off the farm part time, so for this next coming year I
am likely going to work a similar schedule, about 3 days on and 3 days
off the farm. How much you work and what you would earn off the land
is open to negotiation, depending on your situation. What we did last
year was work on farm the same amount and everything (income and
expenses, was split 50/50).

I am not looking for someone to buy into the business necessarily;
really I am just looking for someone to share this incredible land
with, as well as the responsibility of farming!

There is so much potential for this place! I am excited to build on
what we started last year with an experienced, enthusiastic, mature
and positive fellow farmer. I think collaboration is awesome, and I’m
not really interested in farming alone. I am excited to share ideas
and inspiration with a farm partner, learn from and teach each other,
share the ups and downs that are inevitable and to be there to give
each other the opportunity to take a break when the need arises.

I am really excited about creating another beautiful season with
someone who is committed, has at least a couple seasons of experience,
a good communicator, passionate, hard working and keen to have fun and
make this season the best it can be. There could also be room for more
than one person to join me.

Also, there is potential for you to live on the farm as well. I live
in one of two suites in a house on the property so that is an option
that can be discussed.

There is lots of flexibility to figure out whatever arrangement works
best for both of us, so lets start a conversation!

with some information about yourself and your interests and experience.

Thank you!
