Cosmos grows a large variety of Certified Naturally Grown vegetables, herbs, flowers, and shiitake mushrooms on 7 cultivated acres on a 30 acre property in Carrollton, GA. We have been selling at farmers markets in the Atlanta area for the last 14 years.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Workers will receive an intense learning/training experience where they are immersed in all aspects of farm production and life. They will learn about, participate in, or be responsible for:
- Greenhouse growing & management
- Planting/Harvesting/Weed control
- Crop rotation
- Cover cropping
- Organic/Integrated pest management
- Soil fertility
- Post-Harvest handling & packaging
- Irrigation
- Farmers Markets Workers are with the owner/manager on most occasions, can ask questions, enjoy fine conversation, and most importantly, learn by doing and experiencing the hard work of farming!
We are looking for people who are eager to work hard, open to learn, and positive in their attitude and communication. They should have the willingness to work in all kinds of uncomfortable (and sometimes comfortable) weather conditions (intense heat/cold/wet). The work is extremely physically demanding and quite hard over the long season, so good physical and mental fitness is necessary. Workers should be able to listen, follow instructions quickly and successfully, and be interested in how their role and even smallest task fits into the entire picture of the working farm. We want people who are looking to continue to hone their farming skills, but also who are interested in seeing and participating in what it takes to run a small scale sustainable farm. Workers must be able to do this while persevering through tough and repetitive farm labor. Ability to lift 50 lbs repeatedly is necessary. At least one year experience working on an organic farm is preferred but we are also open to people who are simply eager to learn about farming, are positive in the face of exhaustion, and who can work hard. You will also have open access to the manager/owner most days to discuss questions and address problems.
