Seasonal Farm Jobs Program
Seasonal Farm Jobs is a listing service to connect farm job seekers with host farms that use sustainable growing practices. Host farms and job seekers can each make a profile on the website, and securely contact one another.
HOW SEASONAL FARM JOBS WORKS:
- Complete an Application: Farm Job Seekers and Host Farmers complete online applications which are reviewed by OEFFA staff. Applications should be submitted as early as possible in the year (January-February) for the best placement prospects.
- Search for a Match: Farm Job Seekers and Host Farmer profiles are posted online and visible to other job seekers and hosts. Applicants can view listings to find a match that meets their needs, or update their profile at any time.
- Find Out if it’s a Good Fit: Host Farmers and Farm Job Seekers contact each other to set up a farm visit or interview. Review the Seasonal Farm Job Questionnaire to prepare for an interview.
- Put it in Writing: Host Farmers and Farm Job Seekers negotiate terms and write an employment agreement before beginning work.
- Contact the OEFFA office when you make a match, are no longer seeking a position or an employee, or for any other reason that your listing should be removed from this site.
