Hiring Fantastic Field Crew! ($10-12/hour, DOE)--Carnation, WA

Oxbow Field Crew

Seasonal, May through December

Oxbow is a 25-acre organic farm, education center, and native plant nursery located on a 100-acre wilderness preserve in the Snoqualmie Valley, 25 miles east of Seattle. The farm supports a 600+ member CSA, supplies over 30 restaurants and independent grocery stores with local, organic produce. Our education center, which has a working small farm and Living Playground, is committed to teaching children about sustainable agriculture and the environment. At Oxbow children see firsthand where their food comes from, where salmon spawn, and understand why we need to protect both. The Native Plant Nursery, built in 2013, is a production, research and education facility. We aim to grow the highest quality native plants for restoration, mitigation and landscaping, using ecologically sound practices, and foster research and education that contribute to the restoration and nursery-growing community.

Strong attention to detail and operating efficiently while performing time sensitive tasks in a rapidly changing environment are a must for this position.
