Terp Farm Student Staff Positions

The University of Maryland Department of Dining Services is excited to announce available student staff positions to support the Terp Farm for the 2020 growing season! Terp Farm is a four-season sustainable vegetable and cut flower farm located 15 miles from campus at the University’s Central Maryland Research and Education Center, Upper Marlboro Facility. Established in 2014 as collaboration between the Department of Dining Services and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the farm provides fresh produce to the campus dining halls and food-insecure members of the campus community through donations to the Campus pantry. Additionally, the farm has served as a “living laboratory” for students of the University to engage in practical farming applications and learn skills and concepts that are imperative to running a successful farming operation.

The Terp Farm team is seeking student staff members for employment on the farm for the 2020 season. The position runs from February through December. Wages start at $12/hr. Housing on the Upper Marlboro Facility may be available, pending AGNR review. The Terp Farm Manager will support the Terp Farm Student Staff by incorporating education and mentorship throughout the workday, as well as opportunities for field trips and workshops, based upon Student Staff interest.
