Moutoux Orchard Whole Diet CSA

We are a faced-paced, diverse production farm that grows exclusively for our year-round Whole Diet CSA program. We grow vegetables and fruits organically with an emphasis on fostering soil health and nutrient density. We manage a 100% grass-fed Jersey dairy herd, and raise 100% grass-fed beef, and pasture-raised, organically-fed laying hens, and pigs. We mix vegetable fields, cover crops, and livestock in creative ways to grow great crops and build soil. Each year we hire 3-4 excited, energetic farm hands to help with the day to day production in all aspects of the farm.

We are a diverse farm and you will be exposed to all aspects of production. Field vegetable production is the primary focus of the work—seeding, transplanting, weeding, harvesting, mulching, foliar spraying, etc. We grow all of our own seedlings and grow in hoop houses for winter production. You will participate in harvest and on-farm CSA distribution twice weekly. Workers will also do livestock chores approximately 2-4 days/week, including feeding and watering livestock, moving animals to new pasture, building livestock fence, and maintaining the brooder. Other responsibilities of the position include daily egg collection, dairy processing (yogurt, cheese, kefir), and some CSA outreach. There may be an opportunity to be part of the milking team for our small herd of Jersey cows. There will be minimal orchard work—thinning, pruning, and picking.
