About The Position

Wolfe's Neck Center is seeking a strongly motivated Crop Production Coordinator with 2-3 seasons of farming experience in the Northeast to assist our Farm Operations Manager in day to day operations on our 3.5 acre MOFGA Certified Organic market garden and hightunnels.

This position can serve as an excellent opportunity to learn and grow leadership and farming skills in a fast paced production environment.
