Organic Farming
Hiring: Organic Vegetable Farming
Start date: Feb / Mar 2027
Type: full-time work
Farm: Common Ground Farm | Instagram
Location: near London & St Thomas, Ontario
Housing: off-farm (no on-farm housing available)
We are looking for a dedicated full-time farmer to join our crew starting in spring of 2027. We grow year-round and are looking for new team members to join us for the 2027 season and possibly continue year-round (note that we also have a position available for immediately).
We grow a wide range of vegetables and sell in both our online store, 400 member CSA and small wholesale program. We also attend large farmer's markets in both London and Kitchener. We are looking for someone to join the crew. The ideal candidate is interested in all that goes into an organic mixed vegetable farm and enjoys connecting with customers at market (each team member should expect to work at least 2 market days per month). Experience working on a farm would be an asset.
Our farm is on 40 acres, including 25 acres of fields, 5 acres of barns and paddock area and 10 acres of forest. We are located about 5 minutes SW of St.Thomas, ON and about 30 minutes drive from London. About 10 minutes drive straight north of Port Stanley on Lake Erie.
We use intensive growing methods, but prioritize soil health because its better for the planet and makes tastier vegetables. Over the past 10 years we have grown to a point where we are financially stable. We grow year-round and have done a lot of work with season extension and storage. This is an excellent opportunity to see how a small organic vegetable farm runs and get experience with growing, harvest, building and marketing vegetables directly to consumers.
