HIRING NOW!                       

Join The Team at Red Moon Farm

Every year our work comes together by the contributions of a small crew of dedicated, hard working, awesome folks.

We typically have 1-2 year-round positions and up to 5 seasonal positions which all range from 10-40 hrs per week.

Seasonal Opportunities

We’re hiring a couple of part-to-full-time folks right now (to start mid-winter), and more seasonal roles later (starting around March).

We need folks who are super reliable, on time, teachable and eager to learn, and who can rapidly build new skills. We seek physically fit, positive, pleasant folks willing to come work *hard* feeding your community in a fun, beautiful, all weather environment.

Our farmhands who have loved this job the most are not bothered by getting sweaty, enjoy the feeling of being physically spent by the end of the work day, find joy in experiencing some discomfort of cold or hot conditions, and can maintain focus on monotonous/meditative tasks, i.e. weeding twelve rows of kale in a day, or bagging greens for 3 hours, or pounding fence posts for a whole afternoon.

Here’s a general view of what our farm-hand work entails:

CSA and market prep:

  • Harvesting in all weather conditions

  • Washing, bunching, weighing and bagging in the barn

  • Boxing up the CSA shares, assembly-line style

  • Dancing to your favorite hip-hop, etc

  • Very communal work, super fun

Primary field work:

  • raking, shoveling

  • planting, weeding, mulching, pruning, all by hand

  • running small equipment like weed eaters and small tillers

  • trellising, fence building

Other necessary tasks we need filled:

Flower Garden Harvest

  • Wee-hours flower harvest: has to get done before the sun heats up the blooms!

  • Harvest: about 6 – 9 a.m.

  • Opportunity to learn bouquet arranging Wed & Fri.

Thursday delivery

  • Must have good driving record

  • Early morning till late afternoon

  • Gotta have excellent attention to detail to make sure all the right things end up at all the right stops

Saturday Market Manager

  • Super fun, very fast-paced, very social (think bar-tender role)

  • Can stay positive and pleasant under pressure

  • Background knowledge of food/veggies a plus.

What’s special about working at Red Moon Farm?

Everything. You’ll learn an insane amount about our low-till, biointensive organic style of production agriculture (This ain’t no hobby farm, y’all. We’re not stopping mid day to make sourdough bread or pick wildflowers for that instagram lifestyle, ain’t got the time) this makes the educational aspect of this job really high. You learn a system that works in our region, and has worked for 10+ years.

And the numerous payoffs include:

  • improved physical and mental health

  • deeeep sleep at the end of the day

  • fun and quirky farm friends

  • a fridgefull of healthy veggies

  • getting stronger and healthier than you’ve ever felt in your life

  • having the best farmers tan of any of your friends, by FAR.

We’re in Van, a 35 min. drive from downtown Tyler. Some of our best workers loved this job enough to drive from Chappell Hill, Longview, and even from McKinney.

3 important notes:

  1. Pay ranges from 13-15/hr depending on how amazing you are at the job and the responsibilities you can shoulder

  2. We are not looking for volunteers at this time

  3. Farm work is **almost always exclusively Tues. through Fri.**

  4. We do not offer on-farm housing (although some farmhands have pitched their tents and camped out when the weather is nice, both for fun, and to shorten their commute)
