Owl's Nest is hiring for 2025!

We’re hiring for two part-time roles on a rolling basis, starting in Spring 2025. Full time work available for farmers interested and able to fulfill both roles.

A teammate position at Owl’s Nest Farm is hard work with your body; it’s demanding and exhausting and often wonderful. Not only will you work outside in all weather conditions, but we also need you to move quickly and efficiently. We think you’ll learn a lot, but this is a paid job, not an internship or apprenticeship.
