Organic Garden Steward

Bodhi Farms is hiring for the Organic Garden Steward position in Bozeman, MT. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Seed, transplant, cultivate, irrigate, harvest, wash, pack, and store crops according to the farm's plan and food-safety procedures. • Use and care for assigned hand tools, wash-pack equipment, carts, and field equipment within training. • Monitor crops and communicate pest, disease, water, weather, quality, or harvest-timing concerns promptly. • Carry out the organic garden's seasonal work, including propagation, bed preparation, planting, weeding, irrigation, trellising, pruning, harvest, washing, and end-of-season cleanup as assigned. • Harvest and handle produce carefully for the farm's restaurant and community use, communicating availability and quality so the kitchen receives usable ingredients at the appropriate time. • Maintain tidy beds, paths, tools, harvest containers, compost, and shared garden areas while helping visitors and coworkers understand how to move around an active food-production space safely. How the work fits together Farm priorities follow crop condition, weather, harvest commitments, and customer orders.
