WORKING AT RED FIRE FARM
How we work:
Every move we make on the farm makes a difference as to whether the farm is viable or not. Organic farming is very reliant on good solid crews in the field, and we expect everyone to pull their weight and master the skills of farming. Crew leaders and various managers run the different aspects of the farm as a team, with the help of our interns and field crew.
We seek crew members who have some experience with farming, a deep work ethic, a sense of humor and a strong commitment to providing local food. We are seeking folks who would like to help us grow and improve the farm into the future.
Please check out our open positions.
The Workday at Red Fire Farm:
Monday through Friday, we start at 7am on Harvest Days(3 a week) and 8:30am on Project Days (2 a week). We work until about 6:30pm (sometimes longer, when the season is really cranking, so flexibility is important).
Managers, interns and others living in the farm house share the rotation of weekend duties, working part of a weekend once a month.
Location:
Red Fire Farm is an 80 acre farm located in southern Hampshire County on Taylor and Carver Streets in Granby Massachusetts. Fields of flat vegetable soils and upland pasture surrounding a substantial beaver pond make the farm as picturesque as it is productive.
Twenty five minutes from Amherst, 30 minutes from Northampton, and 10 minutes from the Chicopee Memorial State Park(beautiful swimming lake), you can easily get to the attractions of the Five College area.
Some of us also like to go up to Greenfield for contradancing and beers!
