We generally hire 35-40 people at the peak of the summer season. We’ve fortunate to have quite a few long-time employees who return year after year to help us run a pretty complex operation. Since we have a lot going on with a garden center, farmstand, 5 types of CSAs and a certified organic Christmas Tree farm, we’ve been able to attract some great young and older people with an interest in all aspects of agriculture. Many of these employees go on to develop their own diverse farms and CSAs. If you are as excited about the revolution in local agriculture as we are, we hope you’ll consider working with our crew to help keep Walker Farm at the forefront of the locavore movement.
