Come participate in Vermont’s local food system through the fulfillment and delivery of regeneratively-grown, pasture-raised meats. Help build a retail-focused distribution system to bring more food to our direct community. Join a team of hard-working individuals who support, teach, and learn from each other every day.
The Farm
Maple Wind Farm is a pasture-based livestock farm operating in Richmond and Bolton, Vermont for more than 20 years. The farm produces pasture-raised non-GMO pork, turkeys, layer and broiler chickens, and 100% grass-fed beef. The core of our agricultural mission centers around daily moves of our livestock, providing animals with the freshest pasture possible, while regenerating soil & water resources. Our certified organic, USDA poultry slaughter and meat processing plant allows us to bring these high-quality, regenerative proteins directly to our discerning customers.

- Staff discount at our on-farm and online stores.
- Workers Compensation Insurance
Experience with retail sales, order fulfillment, and inventory management is preferred but not required - we are willing to train the right candidate!
