Crop Production Coordinator

Position Summary

Wolfe's Neck Center is seeking a strongly motivated Crop Production Coordinator with 2-3 seasons of farming experience in the Northeast to assist our Farm Operations Manager in day to day operations on our 3.5 acre MOFGA Certified Organic market garden and high tunnels. Wolfe's Neck Center's chemical‑free production supplies fresh produce for our onsite Farm Store, culinary operations and Farm-to-Table events. This position can serve as an excellent opportunity to learn and grow leadership and farming skills in a fast‑paced production environment.

The ideal candidate is eager to learn and can work both independently and in group settings.
