Work With Us

(Updated 1/20/26)

2026 Farm Jobs– Are you someone who has spent a few years working on farms and are now looking to take the next step? Are you thinking about starting your own farm, but want some more experience under your belt? Are you interested in local food/farming and want to dip your toe in the water? Perhaps you’d like to work here in 2026! Please read on for more info on our 2026 hiring process and timeline. 

In the 18 years since Siri and Jason started the farm, at least 15 of our former employees have gone on to start their own farming operations or work as farm managers. If you are interested in pursuing a long-term career in farming, we are one of the best places to work and learn. See below for more details on current job offerings.

To apply please email a resume, short intro/why you want to farm/work with us, and 3 professional references to jason @ localrootsfarm.com. Please include “2026 farm crew” in the subject line. We will accept applications until March 20th and review by April 1st. Start date may range from May 1st to June 1st.

Full-Time Farm – This is a 5 day a week job, including one weekend day. You will participate in all aspects of the farm: planting, irrigation, tractor work, harvest, wash/pack, and maintenance tasks. We seek hardworking, mature, people who can work with minimal oversight. Prior farming experience is not required, but definitely preferred. You’ll be working with a core crew of experienced employees, many of whom have worked at Local Roots Farm for over 10 years. Full-time employees must have a valid drivers license, transporation to the farm, and ideally will be willing to drive a one-day-a-week delivery route in Seattle in a farm van.
