Quill Hill Farm in Poultney Vermont is looking for a field hand. Part-time, full-time, flexible hours, weekends available, short-term or until November. Work involves typical farm work such as hand weeding, tool weeding, trellising, removing mulch on garlic, harvesting, packing boxes, washing produce, cleaning garlic, and other farm tasks. Must be able to bend down, squat, work with your hands repetitively, lift 40-50 lbs, and be able to work independently on large tasks as well as work with a crew on harvest days. We are looking for someone who likes doing manual labor, being outdoors in all kinds of weather, has a strong work ethic as well as is interested in learning about organic farming, talking philosophy, and loves garlic and peppers. Our farm is a certified organic garlic, pepper, and herb farm located an 30 mins west of Rutland and we are 5 mins from the East Poultney Green/ 10 mins to town of Poultney. We also make farm-to-bottle spices, garlic powder, and garlic related pickles which we sell at festivals and events. Pay $17 to $20 based on experience and how fast you work. No housing available but we do have 40 acres of woods and have had folks park their campers/vans or tent camp in the woods if that's your thing. We also have 3 small kids that run around the farm so looking for folks that don't mind being around little ones.
