The Spring Farm is a small-scale farm situated in downtown Huntsville, Ontario that uses 100% natural and organic methods to provide locally grown vegetables. We raise turkey, chicken and sell farm fresh eggs. The farm is located only five kilometres from downtown Huntsville, making our product truly local.
With the popular demand for local, organic food, The Spring Farm is growing quickly. We grow and supply fresh vegetables and unique varieties of microgreens to a number of local restaurants and retail stores across Muskoka. We also provide workshops and education to our community, school groups and even inmates on how to grow and cook organic food.
Are you a farmer who wants experience running a farm before you get into your own business of your own? We are looking for someone to manage the market garden for the 2017 season and is willing to start ASAP. We have two large greenhouses for starter plants (76 x 30) (120 x 30 ) and for summer tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant and pepper production. We have all equipment, including tarps, row covers, tiller, and hand tools. We have an excellent irrigation system already set up. We go to market every Thursday (5 minute drive from the farm) and operate a farm stand on Fridays. The farm is on Lake Vernon, in beautiful Muskoka.
You will work along side employees and will be in charge of the garden operation. Jenny, co-owner of The Spring Farm will assist you with the garden management.
Must have experience working on a farm.
You must have your own living arrangements in Huntsville and your own way to get to the farm everyday. There is a rental house that could be available across the road from the farm (2 minute walk to the lake)
This is a paid position. Pay will be based on experience.
