Farm Opportunities

Farm Worker

Cherry Grove Farm is looking for a reliable, hardworking farmhand who can help with all aspects of dairy farming, from fence line, water line and equipment maintenance to milking and livestock chores.

Though the pictures may seem romantic, farming is hard work – rain or shine, hot or cold weather. We are looking reliability and commitment to the work. Hourly wage is based on experience and skills. Click here for more info.

Passionate about farming? Interested in grass-based, sustainable farming?

Cheesemaker’s Apprentice

With the milk of our small herd, we work hard to turn it all into the tastiest cheese possible 4 -5 times a week, and this is where we need your help. We will be seeking a cheesemaking apprentice for a year commitment ideally, starting in May 2019. For details about the position, click here for more info.

Volunteers!

We are always looking for folks who can help out at events like the Cow Parade, and in our classroom, and flower gardens. If you enjoy people, gardening, or spreading the word about local foods and would like to volunteer your time and talents to the farm, please email kathys.cgf(at)gmail.com. Volunteers should be 18 years of age or older.

Due to the nature of our work – making food – we do not use volunteers to work with our animals. Animals like the comfort and consistency of knowing the people around them. New people make them nervous, so we stick to a regular team for our production animals.
