Kingfisher Farm Market in South Surrey, BC is seeking a Farm Worker!
ABOUT Kingfisher Farm Market
We are a small farm growing vegetables and flowers on 1 acre. We host a one day a week market here at our farm along with a roadside stand and delivery of farmer’s boxes.
We have been farming for 19 years on this land and have been transitioning over to no-till methods and have been growing using regenerative farming methods since the beginning but are not certified organic.
We share the land we farm with a number of other families who hold a shared mortgage together. As farmmates we care for the un-farmed land together, eat regular meals as a community and share life. Paul and I farm the land with the help of other staff and other community members have work off-site.
