Every hardworking member of our River Garden Farms team plays a crucial role in keeping our farm a successful, efficient, and important part of our local and global communities.
We typically have 42 full and part-time employees, many of which have been with the farm for decades. Additionally, we provide dozens of seasonal jobs for agricultural workers – often we see the same faces return each year for the new growing season.
