Flower Farmer Nonprofit Farm

Veggies to Table is a non-profit 501c3 grow-to-donate organic diversified fruit, veggie and flower farm. Everything we grow we donate to those in need of food and joy in our community. We partner with 35+ local pantries, schools, summer lunch, and educational programs to bring our nutrient dense produce to community members experiencing hunger and beautiful flowers for those needing joy.

We have welcomed hundreds of volunteers to the farm and work to create deep community connections on the farm and beyond.

We are committed to restoring dignity to individuals and families who have lost control over that most basic of choices and decisions—what to eat. The goal? Universal access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food for everyone.

As an estimated 215,000 people in Maine go hungry daily, our mission is vital — now. You can be a part of the solution.

Veggies to Table seeks a part-time flower farmer for our 2026 season to work on our non-profit, organic, no-till farm.

Veggies to Table seeks a passionate and energetic flower farmer to work in conjunction with the farm crew, the founders of Veggies to Table, and a lot of motivated volunteers and WWOOFers of all ages. We are in search of someone committed to non-profit work, our mission, and organic, no-till, no-spray farming. We seek someone who is excited to work with many kinds of beautiful flowers to create #flowerjoy for our community.

Our ideal candidate has experience with organic no-till practices, growing diverse kinds of flowers, and is excited to build not only our farm, but community connections. They love people and sharing their love of joyful flowers. Additionally they love veggie farming too and in the shoulder seasons can help with that side of the farm.

Our flower farmer will be expected to understand flower farming from seeding, transplanting, fertilizing and field maintenance (weeding, mulching, trellising, hortonova netting, etc.). They will be responsible for harvesting with crew and volunteers, as well as bouquet making. They will be ready to hit the ground running to help us grow more flowers and create more joy in our 2026 season.
