Quill Hill Farm is hiring for the 2026 farm season. We are looking for a #1 field hand/ farm worker from May to mid November. Full time or 2 part time positions available.
Duties include day-to-day farm tasks such as transplanting seedlings by hand, greenhouse work, setting up trellising and irrigation, hand weeding, tool weeding, mulch removal, harvesting, trimming/cleaning/ grading and bagging, planting, kitchen work such as pickling, bottling, and labeling. This is a physically demanding job and involves a high pace work environment. Use of your hands is important and must be able to lift 60 lbs, and have reliable transportation. Position involves working efficiently both solo/independently and as part of crew/team during harvest days.
No experience is necessary but the right person is someone who is a quick learner, can multi-task, genuinely enjoys being outdoors, and has a good work ethic/positive can-do spirit. Must love garlic and peppers. We are a family farm with 3 small children who are actively part of the farm on a daily basis. Pay starts at $17.50 hr and is dependent on experience.

Our farm is located 10 minutes from downtown Poultney and we grow 4 acres of certified organic garlic, spicy peppers, and herbs as well as make farm-to-bottle garlic powders and pickles.
My wife and I are searching for 25+ acres of farm-able land with or without house. Ideally looking for an owner finance situation, but open to other possibilities.

John Deere 9' Sickle Mower with pin hitch
I used it once, but not quite what I'm after.
It works well. I installed a ram for it off of a different mower. All greased up. Sickle sections are good, but not new. Tires hold air. Grass board is intact.
