FARM JOB: Gibbons, AB - Sundog Organic Farm, Veggie Farm Worker

Sundog Organic Farm in Gibbons, Alberta is seeking a Veggie Farm Worker!

ABOUT Sundog Organic Farm

We are a local organic vegetable farm in the Fort Saskatechewan-Gibbons area that grows a variety of veggies for market each week.

Our farming practices begin with respect for the soil. Soil covers only a small part of the earth, and what we have has been built up over millennia to become the life-supporting substrate which we can grow food in. It is teeming with organisms, all of which work together to become a nutrient-dense matter that supports plant life (along with sun and water). We work together with these elements to grow vital foods for you. We seek to farm with a balance of efficiency and sustainability. We farm on a small scale and this leads to less reliance on large-scale equipment as well as increased human interaction with soil and plants. We are certified organic.
