Part Time Farm

About The Farm

Perry-winkle Farm grows a diverse mix of vegetable and cut flower crops in northern Chatham County, NC. We have been growing flowers and food for our neighbors since 1991 and are looking forward to our 36th season. Our vegetable production includes an emphasis on specialty potatoes, salad greens, and peppers.

We grow three seasons of cut flowers for mixed bouquet sales at the Carrboro Farmers' Market, for on-farm design work, and bulk bucket flowers for DIY weddings and other special events.

The farm is located in central North Carolina, just 10 miles from Carrboro/Chapel Hill (home of UNC-CH) and 12 miles from Pittsboro (site of the Central Carolina Community College’s Sustainable Farming Program).

We are looking for 2 part-time employees this season to help with all aspects of our farm work. Activities will include greenhouse work, transplanting, weeding, harvesting crops, prepping products for market, and selling at our Saturday farmers’ market. There will be opportunities to learn many aspects of our production systems, including setting up and maintaining a drip irrigation system, soil fertility practices, crop rotations, cover crop planning and utilization, and marketing direct to consumers.

3-2026 thru 12-2026

Experience is not required, but we are looking for dependable employees with strong bodies, healthy work ethics, and the ability to “play well with others.” Applicants need to understand that we are production farmers who work in all kinds of weather (hot and cold) and that we need to tackle all tasks with positive attitudes and a sense of “urgency” because there are always more jobs needing to be done.

$16 – $18 per hour. 8-hour days including a 1/2 hour paid lunch break.
